3 In discussing the Bivens doctrine, Randall ig nored, for instance, Bush v. Lucas, 462 U.S. 367 (1983); Chappell v. Wallace, 462 U.S. 296 (1983); United States v. Stanley, 483 U.S. 669 (1987); and Schweiker v. Chilicky, 487 U.S. 412 (1988). In discussing statutory implied rights of action, he relied on Cort v. Ash, 422 U.S. 66 (1975), but ignored more recent cases severely limiting Cort, such as Texas Industries, Inc. v. RadclifF Materials, Inc., 451 U.S. 630 (1981), and Transamerica Mortgage Advisors Inc. v. Lewis, 444 U.S. 11 (1979).
