(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of three California taxpayers to prevent the State from implementing Senate Bill 826. The 2018 law requires publicly-held corporations headquartered in California to have at least one director “who self-identifies her gender as a woman” on their boards by December 31, 2019 (Robin Crest et al. v. Alex Padilla (No.19ST-CV-27561)).Up to three such persons are required by December 31, 2021, depending on the size of the board. The lawsuit alleges that the mandate is an unconstitutional gender-based quota.

As long as they have standing, they can’t lose. It is bald sexism. That is unconstitutional.
Better than nothing, I guess, but none of this will matter if voting doesn’t get cleaned up in the country.
In other words, they can sue and sue until they drop dead, but they’re never going to if DEMOCRATS are the ones placing judges in front of them.
The use of gender versus biological sex is continuing the narrative.
May I suggest Chromosomal science.
Anywho.. all they have to do is identify as a woman to get around this. Would be fun to watch, just like the athletic events melting down and truly oppressing bilogical females.
Obviously they’ve had to create a post for an Official Vagina Inspector.
I was wondering how JW would have standing here.
Clearly, any affected corporation could sue, but would they? They'd have credible fear of the government.
“at least one director “who self-identifies her gender as a woman”
If you listen, progressives will tell you who they are. Here is your “war on women”.
That law is illegal, wrong and unconstitutional.
This seems particularly simple to comply with: each board needs to have members identify as women, and document such. There is no requirement that they actually BE women. Maybe they can alternate days.
What a great way to keep the board rooms all Male and pour concrete over the Glass Ceiling (If you believe in such a thing, I don’t).
This would NEVER work!
Changing everyone’s pay so that they make $0.71 less than their counterparts for the week or month that they were “women” would be very difficult on payroll!
There’s always Delaware.
There’s always Delaware.
Every major corporation now has “political” officers. We are now semi Soviet.
Why limit it to gender? I thought skin color was everything? They should demand anyone who self identifies as a kitty or broccoli or bread box have a corner office.
What is the transgender quota? Just askin.
