Every one of these racists should lose their jobs... especially to a conservative of "color." See how they like it. :-)

AB 703 contained UN language

The legislation at the heart of the fight, AB 703, was proposed by Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Compton, who declined to comment on Thursday's ruling other than to say he wants to appeal.

In proposing AB 703, Dymally had argued that it filled a loophole. Proposition 209 banned discrimination by public agencies but didn't define the term, he said.

His bill, now Government Code 8315, provided a definition that its supporters claimed could legally benefit underrepresented groups. The measure was approved by lawmakers on a party-line vote, with Republicans opposed.

AB 703 used a definition of discrimination that stemmed from the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and was part of a treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1965.

The definition stated that "special measures" taken on behalf of underrepresented groups are not necessarily discriminatory.

Good Job, Ward Connerly!!! The good guys win one.

The racists are now using race to discriminate against people of noncolor. How appropriate for these insecure, spiteful, and liberal weenies.
