Arnold Schwarzenegger is vowing to "continue to fight" against political partisan gerrymandering after the Supreme Court ruled that federal courts can't decide cases over district maps.

California's former Republican governor — one of the leading advocates for redistricting reform — tweeted moments after the Supreme Court's Thursday ruling:

I want to remind everyone who feels pessimistic right now that last year, when we were disappointed in the Court’s decision, we got back to work and voters went to the polls in 5 states to reject partisan gerrymandering. — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) June 27, 2019

The Supreme Court justices made the 5-4 ruling — split along ideological lines — in two cases presented over district maps in Maryland and North Carolina, which were alleged to be instances of unconstitutional partisan gerrymanders.

The "Terminator" star has called partisan political gerrymandering a "national scandal." As governor, the 71-year-old former bodybuilder pushed two ballot initiatives that moved control of redistricting for state house seats and congressional seats from state legislatures to a nonpartisan commission.

On Wednesday, Schwarzenegger pledged to continue the battle.

We will continue to fight in the legislatures, we will continue to fight at the ballot boxes, and we will continue to fight in state courts. And we will win. — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) June 27, 2019

He also shared a clip from his 1985 action flick, "Commando."
