Great news…Judicial Watch is on a roll!

On March 25^th, a Maryland court ruled in favor of Judicial Watch’s challenge to Maryland’s congressional redistricting plan. In its ruling the court permanently barred the “extreme” plan created by the Democratic-controlled Maryland legislature.

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit on behalf of 12 registered Maryland voters who object to Maryland’s 2021 congressional redistricting plan on the grounds that it is a partisan gerrymander that diminishes their rights to participate in free, fair elections for the U.S. Congress on an equal basis with other Maryland voters, in violation of the Maryland Constitution.

The court agreed and threw out the plan. In response, the Maryland legislature passed and the Maryland governor signed into law a new, more reasonable plan that better respects the rights of ALL voters.

This key Judicial Watch court victory against abusive partisan gerrymandering in Maryland could set a national precedent!

And just one week later, on April 1^st, a California court ruled unconstitutional the state’s racial, ethnic, and LGBT quota for corporate boards of directors. The court granted Judicial Watch’s motion for summary judgment in its taxpayer lawsuit asking the court to declare the quota scheme unconstitutional under California’s constitution. 

The lawsuit was filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of three California taxpayers to prevent California from enforcing Assembly Bill 979. The bill requires that boards of directors of California-based, publicly held domestic or foreign corporations satisfy a racial, ethnic and LGBT quota.

This historic California court decision declared unconstitutional one of the most blatant attacks in the modern era on constitutional prohibitions against discrimination. In its ruling, the court upheld the core American value of equal protection under the law.
