North Carolina and Pennsylania took him up on that and their Supreme courts ruled that their legislatures had created unfair districts. 
Now Alito is saying they shouldn't have done that, but no one in the media is calling him for for contradicting himself.

The Founders said that their intent was to make sure there was always a check and balance on the power of any part of government.
A Legislature should not be allowed to draw its own districts any more than I should be allowed to draw my own property lines.

So says the resident government do boy. Better elected officials who have to answer to the people, then unelected political advocates.  And besides, it was the intent of the framers that this be done locally w/o federal interference. Did you actually read the article?

Elected officials answer to the people either way. There are still elections at the district level where someone wins and someone loses. And state Supreme courts *are* local.
This image explains the problem, if you actually want to understand.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
