""Most of the law around redistricting is up to the state, not the federal government, not federal law, and we just changed state law,""
""I don't think there are many grounds for a legal challenge against Prop. 50 to succeed.""
""California's redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,""
""Governor Newsom's attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.""
A federal court blocked Texas from using a redrawn U.S. House map, intensifying a nationwide redistricting battle. Legal experts note that state law governs most redistricting matters, making California's voter-approved Proposition 50 unlikely to be affected by the Texas ruling. The Justice Department filed suit in federal court to block California's new congressional map pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Critics, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, called the California scheme a power grab that violates civil rights. Newsom's spokesperson said opponents lost at the ballot box and will lose in court. Texas filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
