Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) criticizes a recent Virginia Supreme Court ruling affecting congressional district boundaries. In remarks carried by The Hill and CBS News, Lieu says the decision is “not only wrong, it was disgraceful,” and he argues the court “suckered” voters. The criticism centers on the court’s action overturning a Virginia referendum that redrew the state’s congressional districts. Both outlets report that Lieu frames the ruling as undermining the electoral process and forcing additional costs for Virginia. Lieu’s comments are directed at the Supreme Court’s decision to roll back the redistricting changes, which he describes as having been carried out through the referendum process. The reports do not indicate that Lieu is proposing specific legal or legislative remedies, but his statements underscore strong disagreement with the court’s interpretation and outcome. The coverage presents his position as part of broader debate over redistricting and judicial review of electoral maps.
