The decision you appeal to wasn't plurality, it was a majority (5-4). Well, in terms of result, it was more like 7-2. Scalia and Thomas agreed with the other two dissenters on the merits, but thought the Supreme Court didn't have jurisdiction over the case and would have dismissed it for standing. Thus while they dissented, their preferred outcome would have still functionally had the same result as the majority opinion in keeping the redistricting commission.
Thanks for the heads up, I’ve amended the post.
