Federal court delivers major blow to Biden’s radical equity agenda

Here's the goal of the equity agenda: racial preferences for preferred races

The Biden administration’s so-called "equity agenda" suffered a major defeat in federal court recently. In a lawsuit challenging the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) – a new federal agency dedicated to helping only certain preferred racial groups – a federal judge ruled that the Biden administration cannot discriminate based on race.

Judge Mark Pittman, a Trump-appointee based in Fort Worth, Texas, delivered a remedial lesson in civics to the administration: "The Constitution demands equal treatment under law."

While such a statement should be obvious to any American, this was quite a painful blow to the administration. On his first day in office, President Biden declared a "whole of government" approach to racial equity, requiring all his agencies to "affirmatively advance[e] equity." In practice, the equity agenda resulted in a bevy of programs open to some races, but not others. Farmers, restaurant owners, homeowners, small business owners and federal contractors all got billions in federal tax dollars, so long as they belonged to certain racial groups.

If they aren't already, Progs will be railing against the 5th Circuit the way conservatives do against the 9th Circus. Though Progs are potentially violent, unlike conservatives in their decades of unhappiness with the 9th.

That court just dropped a little newborn's shoe.  The massive workboots that are going to be dropped are the SCOTUS decisions on race-based college preferences. Those will be coming down within the next 10 days at the latest.  The impact of those rulings will go well beyond just college admissions.
