There are numerous instances in American history where a president, faced with a hostile Supreme Court and an inconvenient ruling said "Fuck you. I'm the po-lice. Enforce that." Not only did the country survive, in some instances it was made a better place by it.
On a more practical note, it would be completely reasonable to say "Ok, the Voting Rights Act as a whole is a matter of national security, interstate commerce and federal election law. Congress must treat this as an injunction to change the basis by which "a history of prejudicial voting laws" is defined, but until it does, I am obliged by national security interests to maintain the existing map."
Everyone gets what they claim to want.
Racist shits trying to undo fifty years on a technicality, through a stacked Supreme Court, still get to go fuck themselves.
