    Court rules California's boardroom diversity law unconstitutional

    A Los Angeles judge on Friday ruled California's law requiring corporations to diversify their boards with members from certain racial, ethnic or LGBTQ groups unconstitutional, AP reports.

    Driving the news: The ruling — which didn't explain the judge's reasoning — granted summary judgment to Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group that sought a permanent injunction against the corporate diversity law.

    The lawsuit argued that the measure violated the equal protection clause in the state's constitution.

    The big picture: The measure — signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, in 2020 — required publicly held companies headquartered in the state to include at least one member of an "underrepresented community" on their board by the end of 2021.

    In its court filings, the state argued the measure didn't "discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting," per AP.

    The other side: "This historic California court 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.

    He added: "The court upheld the core American value of equal protection under the law."

    didn't hear much (actually anything) on the ruling here.

    ask me if I'm surprised.

    they'll try to find another way to subvert it.

    btw, there's another bill, sorry don't have the number, that would prevent people who are not vaxxed from working in CA.

    This will get interesting.. I'm fairly certain it won't go anywhere, well, hoping anyway, but that some genius even came up with it boggles my mind.

    Yea, I saw that. I also don't think it will go anywhere. Even here in liberal CA. the people (for the most part) are fatigued with all of this.

    They have lifted all of the proof of Vax in SF.

    As much as I love California, I would move out if it wasn't for my family. All of them live here and refuse to budge.

    NorCal, SF metro, south peninsula area, very beautiful, good climate like OC, but it's like living in a foreign country now, ruled by a gestapo.

    You just haven't met the "right" woman yet, Dude - What if she wanted you to relocate to (let's say) Atlanta?
