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.

  • Ag Groups Playing No Favorites in Secretary Sweepstakes
    December 2, 2020 Volume 16, Number 46 Ag groups playing no favorites in secretary sweepstakes Farm groups are pledging to work with whomever President-elect Joe Biden picks for agriculture secretary and are steering clear of announcing a favorite for the position. That’s not the case with several other interest groups. So far, most of the public speculation has centered on a pair of longtime Capitol Hill farm hands: Former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge. Debate over the two has turned into a proxy battle for the direction of the Department of Agriculture under the Biden administration. And farm policy insiders haven’t been able to squeeze much out of the Biden transition team. “They do a lot of listening; they don’t do much Rep. Marcia Fudge (left) and former Sen. Heidi sharing about what they are looking for,” one source Heitkamp (right) told Agri-Pulse of his conversations with the transition team. “As you would expect with any transition team, they hold their cards very, very close.” In recent weeks, ag lobbyists told Agri-Pulse of their generally good relationships with both Heitkamp and Fudge and said they were also generally happy with some of the other people said to be in the running – former Obama administration veterans like USDA Deputy Secretaries Kathleen Merrigan and Krysta Harden and Michael Scuse, who served as deputy in an acting role, former Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack's Chief of Staff and current California Ag Secretary Karen Ross, even Vilsack himself – and none went as far as to endorse a favorite.

    PLYMOUTH COUNTY Plymouth County, the fourth largest county in the state of Iowa, was established on January 15, 1851 and formally organized on October 12, 1858. It is named after the landing place of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. The county was attached to Woodbury County for judicial and other reasons prior to 1858. Plymouth County began with two civil townships. The county now has 24 townships. The site of the first courthouse was in Melbourne. It was built in October of 1859 at a cost of $2,000. In 1861 the building was insured, desks were purchased and an outhouse and steps were added. The courthouse in Melbourne had many uses, including winter quarters for soldiers for the federal government, as well as a grocery. The first public school was taught in Melbourne in December 1859. Records show that the school fund was $470 and the number of students registered was 32. In 1872, by a close vote, the county seat was moved to Le Mars. The town of Le Mars had been platted in 1869, and was named by using the initials of the names of ladies who visited the town with a group of realtors, a state legislator and a state registrar of deeds. In 1874, residents voted to build a new courthouse and jail in Le Mars on Block 35. Three thousand dollars was approved by the voters and appropriated from the swamp land fund of Sioux City and the Iowa Falls Town Lot and Land Company donated the land. In 1900, at the general election on November 6, a bond issue was passed to build a new courthouse, at a cost of no more than $70,000.
