We have roughly 6 population centers in La.
1- NOLA
2- BR
3- Lafayette
4- Shreveport
5-Lake Charles
6- Monroe
Let's create districts around those cities then. I wonder how that will turn out?

In a 5-4 decision the courts ruled in favor of Shaw (the petitioner), finding that it was, in fact, unlawful to gerrymander on the basis of race. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote the majority opinion in which she explains the court's ruling.
How can the Supreme Court contradict itself?

Correct. That is how it should be done to begin with, though North LA is not populated enough to center districts around both Shreveport and Monroe. Alexandria is probably a more logical center than Monroe in that case.
Like I said, pure geography and population, adhering to existing administrative boundaries where possible to keep community interests together. Zero regard for demographics/race/party affiliation/etc. .

It'll turn out how it turns out. I'd imagine we would actually have some competitive congressional districts in that case.
ETA: I made one in less than five minutes, can't figure out how to post the screenshot though.
