This seems just a part of the cleanup of section 5, where you don't need a high BVAP to avoid the DOJ hammer. The issue that is open is just how much one can pack, if it is otherwise based on good redistricting principles, and there is not another 50%+ minority CD that goes away due to the packing, or perhaps a lower than 50% minority CD that is still performing for the minority group. I am not sure SCOTUS knows either.
Gerrymandering that causes packing is definitely a no-no now however, even if its not about blacks being black, but about blacks being Democrats.
