  • United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division
    Case 4:21-cv-00595-O Document 11 Filed 06/02/21 Page 1 of 14 PageID 333 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH DIVISION Sid Miller, Greg Macha, James Meek, Jeff Peters, and Lorinda O’Shaughnessy, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, Case No. 4:21-cv-00595-O v. Tom Vilsack, in his official capacity as Secretary of Agriculture, Defendant. PLAINTIFFS’ FIRST AMENDED CLASS-ACTION COMPLAINT The Supreme Court of the United States said 125 years ago that: [T]he constitution of the United States, in its present form, forbids, so far as civil and political rights are concerned, discrimination by the gen- eral government, or by the states, against any citizen because of his race. All citizens are equal before the law. The guaranties of life, liberty, and property are for all persons, within the jurisdiction of the United States, or of any state, without discrimination against any because of their race. Those guaranties, when their violation is properly presented in the reg- ular course of proceedings, must be enforced in the courts, both of the nation and of the state, without reference to considerations based upon race. Gibson v. State of Mississippi, 162 U.S. 565, 591 (1896); see also Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497 (1954) (citing Gibson and holding that segregation in the District of Co- lumbia public schools violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment). Equal rights under law is the cornerstone of American constitutional jurispru- dence: the principle that all citizens, regardless of status, wealth, race, color, religion, or creed, have the same rights and are entitled to the same standard of justice.
