No, they are more likely to embolden democratic gerrymandering efforts. Gorsuch, Thomas and Kavanaugh are likely to buy into ISL

No, but R state supreme courts could in places like IL if Rs flip the court. Even if you can make rulings favorable to one side, you can't abolish the VRA but then say it only applies to R states or only eliminate the AZ Commission while keeping everything else in palce.

Either both sides get to gerrymander or they don't

Both sides have to follow the VRA or they don't

Because Democrats have unilateral control of gerrymandering in only a few states, Democrat gerrymanders are much likelier to be enacted through the courts (which will be subject to review by SCOTUS.)

So yes, in a way.
