Does a federally-licensed limousine company state a valid claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 against state regulators for violating the dormant Commerce Clause?
QUESTION PRESENTED Does a federally-licensed limousine company state a valid claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 against state regulators for violating the dormant Commerce Clause, where the company attempts to provide ground transportation to airline passengers in the stream of commerce as one leg of a passenger’s continuous, pre-arranged interstate trip and state regulators prevent the federally-licensed company from providing its passenger services because it does not possess a state-issued certificate of public necessity and convenience.
