spartan max2 Posted May 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Quote Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis said the law that would have required boards have up to three female directors by this year violated the right to equal treatment. The ruling was dated Friday. The conservative legal group Judicial Watch had challenged the law, claiming it was illegal to use taxpayer funds to enforce a law that violates the equal protection clause of the California Constitution by mandating a gender-based quota. David Levine, a law professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, said he was not surprised by the verdict. Under state and federal law “mandating a quota like this was never going to fly,” Levine said. State Senate leader Toni Atkins, a Democrat from San Diego, said the ruling was disappointing and a reminder “that sometimes our legalities don’t match our realities.” https://apnews.com/article/technology-government-and-politics-california-los-angeles-1ee602b76a4f9707c923a27da5805bcd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think this was a good decision. Hiring based on sex, race or any other like thing is wrong. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl.Of.Trumps Posted May 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I love this blurb, from a democrat, of course: “More women on corporate boards means better decisions and businesses that outperform the competition,” Atkins said in a statement. “We believe this law remains important, despite the disheartening ruling.” 1) If women on boards ==> better decisions, why aren't women being chosen more often?? I thought businesses all wanted to maximum pro$its?? 2) The issue is NOT who makes better decisions, it's - do you have the freedom to make the choice you want? It is, after all, your business and your money invested into it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted May 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) A result of California's liberal laws contradicting each other. Can't have equality and favoritism at the same time, if based on race or sex. Perhaps there should be a law to seek equal representation of Christians on every corporate board. Religion is a protected class after all. Probably good that its unconstitutional then, huh, Liberals. Edited May 18, 2022 by DieChecker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good old boy network will make a lot of money for themselves and claim that was the best that could be done. I have come to expect through a lifetime of past experience that nobody in power tells the unvarnished truth to the ordinary citizen. On a corporate board backed by investment banks money management funds and pension funds the money is not their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenHawk Posted May 18, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I agree on the ruling but maybe for California, they should just let it be. When they revisit what went wrong in California, this would just be one thing that they could point to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug The trick isn't enforced quotas, but to figure how to make your target WANT what your trying to achieve. If there's underrepresentation of woman, create a tax break for those who do meet criteria. Or some other break or regulation relaxation. More flies with sugar is what they say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted May 21, 2022 #21 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Well.......... You see......... Any devoted Liberal will tell you there's "discriminatory", and then there's "DISCRIMINATORY". One is very, very bad and affects minorities and the under represented. The other is subject to looking away, because it affects those in the majority, and so while defined as "bad", and wrong, it is tolerated, or even celebrated, as the net effect helps minorities. So..... Depends on who's being affected as to good or bad. Might depend on the liberals current emotional state also. If their calm, discussion may be possible. If triggered, or hit with microaggressions, they will just scream, and rant, and swear. I've noticed that the swearing is pretty common.
