SCOTUS is not going to strike down the VRA in its entirety.

They wouldn't have to.  They would just need to rule that Section 2 and Section 5 do not apply to redistricting.  It's a little out there, but certainly within the realm of possibilities.

This would also mean that Texas could probably draw 32 R+7 or greater districts in 2013.  But some left wing group would probably retaliate with a 2012 ballot referendum for at-large Congressional elections in California.  In short, it would be pure chaos nationwide.
