What do you get when you select judges to Affirmative Action Standards?

Affirmative Action Judges?

In order to make sure gays and lesbians are adequately represented on the judicial bench, the state of California is requiring all judges and justices to reveal their sexual orientation. The announcement was made in an internal memo sent to all California judges and justices.

"[The Administrative Office of the Courts] is contacting all judges and justices to gather data on race/ethnicity, gender identification, and sexual orientation," reads an email sent by Romunda Price of the Administrative Office of the Courts.

"Providing complete and accurate aggregate demographic data is crucial to garnering continuing legislative support for securing critically needed judgeships," Price writes.

Philip R. Carrizosa of the executive office of communications at the Judicial Council of California, the Administrative Office of the Courts, confirmed the authenticity of Price's email regarding gender identification and sexual orientation to THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

"The original bill, which simply provided for 50 new judgeships, was amended in the Assembly in August 2006, to address concerns that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was not appointing enough women and minorities to the bench. In 2011, Senator Ellen Corbett [the Democratic majority leader in the California State Senate] expanded the reporting requirement to include gender identification and sexual orientation."

Price's email also reveals that the Administration Office of the Courts (AOC) is asking for this personal information because of the new law. "For the past five years, the AOC has been required to collect and release aggregate demographic data relative to the ethnicity, race, and gender of justices and judges, by specific jurisdiction, on or before March 1 of each year. This requirement is associated with efforts to obtain new judgeships."\

What goes on in YOUR bedroom?

The State of California wants to know...

Lawyers need to know exactly where to *ahem* file their briefs.

That reminds me...

Last night I invented a new psychological test to measure how much balls you have.

It came about like this: I was reading an old book that disparages women, and suddenly noticed something brown packed beneath my fingernail. What could it be?

I spent the afternoon spreading compost. I took a shit. And I ate a chocolate frosted donut. I did take a shower but my nails dont always come totally clean.

The brown stuff was a challenge. Was it icing, shit, or compost!

Since I have large balls I dug out the mystery goo with my teeth. It was ICING!

I don't believe in Affirmative Action, not as expressed by requiring a certain percentage of all hires being from protected classes. Especially in critical jobs - who wants to have their car serviced by someone who was hired because of their gender or the color of their skin rather than their mechanic skills? A business owner needs to hire the best possible candidate in order for his business to thrive. The color of someone's skin doesn't have anything to do with the ability to be a good mechanic, or doctor, or pilot, or any other job.

I knew a business owner who selected three people to interview for a position in his company. He was fairly certain before he even met them which one he would hire, based on their experience. When that applicant walked in, he said his first reaction was disappointment that she was black. Then he was appalled at himself. He'd always believed he wasn't racist. But his own reaction told him he was. So he conducted the interview and hired her on the spot. Not, he said, because it would look good to have a black woman on his payroll, but because she was the most qualified for the job. He hasn't regretted his decision. He has promoted her now.

I wish all people could be as honest with themselves as he was. And that applies to both sides of the issue. Why would anyone want to be given a job because of their gender or their skin color, if they can't do that job well because they lack the skill or ability? Would you want to be a less than skilled mechanic and be sending people out to drive their families around in a car you serviced? I wouldn't want to be hired just because I am a woman. I'd rather be hired to do a job I am well qualified to do. That's the whole point of anti-discrimination laws. It's to not discriminate based on race, color, sex, or creed, rather than to hire based on it.

That's a question you need to ask of one Barack Hussein Obama...

Lol...good point.

A few years ago Schlub County built several new libraries and sports centers. The county administrator gave every Democrat constituency a project to build. In fairness, all but one contractor did the work well and on time.

The contractor who pissed in the punch was the female. She fucked her project up so bad the county had to use the money for new books and volley balls and pool chlorine to fix it.
