The saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same" doesn't quite apply to the current political landscape. While America is undergoing significant transformations under President Trump, the Democrats' legal strategy remains stagnant, and likely just as ineffective.

A prime example is their lawsuit challenging Trump's executive orders dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in federal initiatives. These orders have the potential to reshape every sector in America.

A coalition of left-leaning organizations, including the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education and the American Association of University Professors, are behind this legal challenge. They argue that the executive orders infringe upon their free speech and due process rights by disrupting the funding streams that have supported their substantial industry.

Their objective appears to be delaying the implementation of these orders. However, this strategy may not succeed. The current climate surrounding DEI is one of increasing concern, particularly after the Supreme Court's decision against affirmative action in higher education. Now, anxieties are focused on critical sectors like aviation.

Recent aviation accidents have sparked national concern, with some linking these incidents to Obama/Biden era FAA DEI policies that prioritized hiring individuals from specific demographic groups and those with targeted disabilities. This has further fueled the debate about the potential dangers of DEI initiatives.

The legal challenges against DEI and affirmative action are likely to fail because they often contradict the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 14th Amendment, both of which prohibit discrimination. The demise of these programs will ideally lead to a return to legal colorblindness.

The Democrats' persistent reliance on legal challenges may prove to be an outdated strategy. While they attempt to maintain the status quo, the nation is moving forward, potentially leaving their legal tactics behind.
