I don't think they'll win this case on the merits, but I don't think the legal argument is particularly far-fetched:  if identifiable partisans are prohibited from serving on "independent" redistricting commissions (like the MI law allows), then the government is barring them from participating in what SCOTUS has called a strictly political process on the basis of their association with a political party.
