I'd be down with that, FartsWithAnAccent! But the constitution would have to be updated with that clause. Right now, it just says that they have to do a thing without specifying what happens if they don't do that thing

Or they could just be held in contempt of court because it was a court order that that blatantly disregarded.

Unfortunately they were only ordered to draw a new map, which they did. So they did indeed "comply". The court can't tell them how to draw the map, only that it needs to be redrawn.

It's not a particularly smart system
