Economic Liberty

Sometimes the hardest part of winning a constitutional lawsuit is getting into the courtroom in the first place. When IJ sues over an unconstitutional regulation, the government’s first response is frequently not to defend the regulation but to say that we shouldn’t be allowed to sue at all. They say our clients haven’t been harmed by the regulation, or that we sued too soon, before the regulation went into effect, or that we sued too late, after the regulation already caused its harms. That is exactly what happened in IJ’s lawsuit challenging Washington, D.C.’s new requirement that all day care providers in the city obtain college degrees.
