Case 6:21-cv-06303-FPG Document 68 Filed 12/13/21 Page 1 of 46. united states DISTRICT COURT. WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EMILEE CARPENTER, LLC, et al., Plaintiffs, Case # 21-CV-6303-FPG. v. DECISION & ORDER. LETITIA JAMES, et al., Defendants. INTRODUCTION . Our nation was founded on a principle of inherent equality that it is not merely true, but self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 515 200, 240 (1995) (Thomas, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment). Historically, it is an aspiration that has been subject to a variety of caveats, restrictions, and provisos when applied to certain groups, persons, and classes. But it is also an aspiration that could not forever tolerate such limitations. City of Mobile v. Bolden, 446. 55, 104 (1980) (Marshall, J, dissenting). Throughout our history, Americans have struggled and suffered in order to extend that principle of equality to the excluded, armed with the belief that our society should fully reflect our most cherished values.
