Commenter at link thinks one of the reasons to have more women onboard is they tend to vote for more government.
WTF? In Montana?
How is this even close to constitutional?
Why?
I know it is a cold winter, obviously a bunch of people’s brains have frozen in Mt.
“What’s next? A quota for Race, Sexual Pref, etc., etc?”
Is there any doubt?
Welcome to socialism, where everything is rationed. Including public office.
Why even have elections? Let’s have the “quota board” select all the public officers. But what will be the makeup of the “quota board?”
That ought to do down well in Disrict 5.
Well let’s hope an equal number of men and women vote this stupid thing down.
What about Transgendereds? Aren’t they going to have to include slots for them as well?
This is way, WAY beyond stupid. The only way this can possibly work is if each seat is duplicated so that there can be a male and a female from each district.
Then what do you do when the remainder of the Facebook 56 clamor for ‘equal rights’.
Thanks to Progressives, this is a meaningless effort in an era when a person can legally become a black just by claiming he/she is black, or can legally become a female just by claiming he/she/it is a female.
This smells of discrimination, as there are more women than men.
So Women are still being discrimiated against (sic)
BTW, I want an equal number of postal workers, barmaids and janitors also represented in Montana statehouse
So if a man is elected and there are only women slots available, is it OK if he just self identifies as a female like Brandly Mannning?
I’ll take a Conservative female over a Liberal male any time.
Stupid rule nonetheless.
Nuts.
Once the quota of men is filled, some guy should sue, on the grounds that he is being subjected to sex discrimination. He would lose.
But if a woman sued for the same reason, she would win.
How about a minimum number of Muslims in the legislature?
How can a state prevent someone from running for an office just because there are more or less men or women already elected?
Don't people have the right to choose their own representatives, regardless of what the voters in other districts have already chosen?
How can they possibly say, "Sorry. You can't vote for Mr. X because there are already too many men in the legislature?
-PJ
How is this even enforceable?
It would only be correct to require that an equal number of men, and women, vote.
Not even remotely constitutional.
Will Kali accept an equal number of party members?
