Yes, without much difficulty if handled properly. The relative silence of Republican lawmakers after the decision is almost deafening, and telling. Nobody wants to be on the wrong side of this. In addition, it's a perfect opportunity for party leadership to provide an example that the entire lot can actually do something productive.
Reid, McConnell, Durbin, Cornyn, Boehner, Pelosi, Cantor, McCarthy and Hoyer should clear their schedules and lock themselves in a room tomorrow with the goal of having a joint press conference in the afternoon to address the ruling and communicate a plan of action.
The action should be limited to providing an updated formula, that's it. No amendments that attempt to address some other provision of the VRA should be allowed. No extraneous non-VRA bullshit either.
