The #SCOTUS had an opportunity to reduce partisan gerrymandering, but decided instead to supercharge it. The #Republican party knows it can not win a fair election. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-redistricting-decision-partisan-gerrymandering-rcna343649

No, the SCOTUS didn't have an opportunity to reduce partisan gerrymandering because it has no such authority.
It's not a legislative branch. It doesn't have the authority to do things outside of law.
Partisan gerrymandering is allowed constitutionally. SCOTUS can't change that, it can't rewrite the constitution. That requires a democratic processes, not an authoritative one.
