最近联邦法院接连做出有利于保守派的法律决定:

1。联邦法官裁定美国航空对其雇员 401K 计划受到环保等非财政因素(ESG:Environmental, Social, and Governance)的限制是非法的。大家也可以看看自己公司的 401K 有没有类似的限制。

American Airlines focus on ESG in 401(k) plan is illegal, US judge rules
Jan 10 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas on Friday said American Airlines (AAL.O), violated federal law by basing investment decisions for its employee retirement plan on environmental, social and other non-financial factors.

2. Pfizer 公司有一个帮助黑裔,拉丁裔 进入高级岗位的 diversity fellowship program。这个 program 一直面临保守组织的法律挑战,但以前联邦法院以促进民权等法律条文支持 Pfizer 拒绝接受保守组织的法律挑战。最近联邦法院修改了以前的裁决:Pfizer 这个 diversity fellowship program 不受法律保护,必须自己去面对保守组织的法律挑战。

A U.S. appeals court on Friday revived a lawsuit by a conservative group opposed to diversity initiatives in medicine that challenged a Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) fellowship program designed to boost the pipeline of Black, Latino and Native American people in leadership positions at the drugmaker. At the urging of the group Do No Harm, a 2-1 panel of the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revisted a decision it issued last year holding the organization lacked legal standing to challenge the drugmaker''s program in court.
That earlier decision had raised the bar for groups like Do No Harm to pursue similar cases on behalf of their membership by finding that they needed to identify members who were affected by the alleged discrimination they were suing over by name.
Do No Harm and other conservative advocacy groups had urged the 2nd Circuit to reconsider that holding, which they said would chill civil rights litigation by exposing individuals to harassment and retaliation if their identities were revealed.
The 2nd Circuit panel that issued that decision agreed to reconsider it, and on Friday concluded a trial court judge applied too strict of a standard in assessing whether Do No Harm had standing and should reconsider the issue.

Pfizer must face lawsuit over diversity fellowship program, US court rules

这都转了好久了,大家都不看自己州过去一年的立法吗?

Pfizer这个是什么?
这个和大部分我们的401k计划没关系吧。什么时候法院判IRS说每年的Roth 可以多投一些?
