The country badly needs some kind of legal/procedural curb on partisan gerrymandering, now moreso because information technology has made the problem worse, but there are no legal limits on partisan gerrymandering (setting civil rights issues aside) in the Constitution and it's not the courts' place to create a constitutional/legislative solution. There is no law or standard for the court's to apply here.
