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,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.
In its court filings, the state argued that 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.
