I think the liberals will come up with an incredibly narrow test that invalidates Wisconsin's map but does basically nothing to impact the issue of gerrymandering in other states.

Roberts, Gorsuch, and Alito all clearly will vote against interceding on it, and Thomas is a good bet to join them. Ginsburg is near certain to vote to intercede, and Sotomayer and Kagan both sounded like they were good bets to side with Ginsburg. Breyer sounded like he was in the Ginsburg camp but in a more restrained manner, while also appealing pretty blatantly to Kennedy (as were both lawyers). It's kind of farcical that almost all issues come down to what Anthony Kennedy thinks on any given topic - that's not how the judicial branch is supposed to work.
