Note the parallel with abuse of “asylum” law, which relies on the long, cumbersome nature of adjudication (meanwhile bogus asylees get to stay and work). Here government grants unlawful goodie-if you get the unlawful goodie during long cumbersome litigation, you get to keep it! https://t.co/ixD23JLzi0

Talk about the rule of law–“reliance” doctrine seems like a huge incentive for pols to violate the law. They know that even if something’s unlawful, it won’t be undone due to “reliance.” At least it won’t be undone for those (like DACA recipients) who’ve “relied” on it. https://t.co/kS5mWAgCyd

Coulter depicts “reliance” doctrine as a liberal ratchet-libs pass law, becomes a ‘fact on the ground,’ can’t be undone because people have relied on it. But really it’s a universal ratchet (if it applied neutrally). Could in theory be used to protect Trump actions from legal… https://t.co/2tXnhX279f https://t.co/BXabpwNmlL

What if there were a judicial doctrine that said “the status quo always wins”? Would liberals favor it? Don’t think so! Well, seems like there is such a pernicious doctrine, “reliance interests.” A legal issue whose time has come. … https://t.co/4RwMNrR20n

Biden wanted to raise wages by running the economy hot and letting in millions of immigrants. That didn’t work (inflation ate the wages). What if he’d raised wages by controlling immigration, tightening labor markets–without the excessive stimulus? Seems more promising. https://t.co/NSpGNUkk0e
