A Judge Has Declared California’s Corporate Diversity Law Unconstitutional

A California judge has ruled the state’s corporate diversity law unconstitutional.

This from redstate.com.

From CBS5:

A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that California’s landmark law mandating that corporations diversify their boards with members from certain racial, ethnic or LGBT groups is unconstitutional.

The measure requires publicly traded corporate boards to have a member from an “underrepresented community,” including LGBT, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander.

The ruling comes in response to a permanent injunction against the law, filed by conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The filing argued that the corporate diversity law violates the equal protection clause.

To recap—you can’t choose or refuse to hire someone on the basis of their race, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.

Imagine that!

The decision “declared unconstitutional one of the most blatant and significant attacks in the modern era on constitutional prohibitions against discrimination,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

Thank you, Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch.

Whether this piece of obviousness constitutes a “landmark decision” remains to be seen. Although some fool radical progressive is likely already preparing an appeal of the decision just because the sky is blue or the grass is green, or the deciding judge was one color or another.

Of note in this decision: An employer cannot discriminate against an individual. And, likewise, that same employer cannot discriminate in favor of an individual.

Discrimination AGAINST is the same as discrimination IN FAVOR OF.   NO kidding?

Final thought, a question: Will this decision have any bearing on the Biden regime appointing a black female for the Supreme Court solely because she is a black female? Remember, Joe-Joe was everything but secretive about his rationale.
