In this habeas case, the Sixth Circuit set aside two 29-year-old murder convictions based on the flimsiest of rationales. The court’s decision is a textbook example of what the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) proscribes: “using federal habeas corpus review as a vehicle to second-guess the reasonable decisions of state courts.”

The Sixth Circuit also erred by consulting its own precedents, rather than those of this Court, in assessing the reasonableness of the Kentucky Supreme Court’s decision...

As we explained in correcting an identical error by the

Sixth Circuit two Terms ago, circuit precedent does not constitute “clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court,” 28 U. S. C. §2254(d)(1). It therefore

cannot form the basis for habeas relief under AEDPA.

To make matters worse, the Sixth Circuit decided Gall II under pre-AEDPA law, see 231 F. 3d, at 283, n. 2, so that case did not even purport to reflect clearly established law as set out in this Court’s holdings. It was plain and repetitive error for the Sixth Circuit to rely on its own precedents in granting Matthews habeas relief.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Her publication record is decent enough. But:

For decades, scholars and judges have assumed that federal habeas corpus review of state court criminal convictions should focus on the individual rights of habeas petitioners and that the federal courts should ask whether a state prisoner is being unlawfully detained because the state violated his individual federal rights. This individualized approach to federal habeas review is expensive, time-consuming, and woefully ineffective in stopping states from violating defendants' federal rights. Indeed, many states systematically violate criminal defendants' federal rights with impunity. This Article proposes a new conception of federal habeas review under which the federal courts focus on states, not on individual petitioners. Federal habeas relief should be available when a state routinely violates its criminal defendants' federal rights as part of a systemic practice. Reconfiguring federal habeas corpus review to focus on states and systemic practices would reduce redundancy, increase efficiency, and be more respectful of state institutions while, at the same time, recovering one of the original and now lost purposes of federal habeas corpus review.

lol good luck with that one

yeah let's just let them rot in prison for life bc that's just so much more fun than simply ceasing to exist and being relieved from life's miseries

any sane person would rather be executed than do life w/o parole. I mean, maybe a gay person wouldn't, I hear prison affords many an opportunity for buttsex

the funny part is that they GVR'd, in light of this summary reversal, another 6th cir habeas grant written by the same judge

well, the two cases didn't really have much in common, and the first summary reversal didn't say anything new - usually cases are GVR'd in light of a case that announces some new rule - so the GVR makes no sense unless it's read as just a big STOP FUCKING THE FUCK AROUND AND GRANTING BUMS HABEAS RELIEF, ERIC CLAY

at YLS? the gvr really is lolsy as fuck. like what do you do, if you're Clay, with this GVR? Parker doesn't say anything he didn't already know, it doesn't announce any rule. normally a gvr is like this, 6th cir says plaintiff satisfies standard x, scotus says in an appeal from another circuit that the standard is y, so then it gvr's the 6th cir decision and the 6th now decides, in light of the scotus case, whether the plaintiff satisfies y. but there's nothing in Parker in light of which the panel should reconsider the decision in Howes, so it's really just like, "hey, see how we were mad as fuck at you over not taking aedpa seriously in this other case? better think again." I mean, I'm not even sure what this new opinion is supposed to look like - SCOTUS just bitched us out in a superficially similar matter and so we're changing our minds? they could just grant relief again
