Chief Justice Roberts: our sharply divided, ebbing and flowing decisions

Filed under: In English, reading — Rui Guo @ 3:44 pm

In a dissent yesterday, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, “We give ourselves far too much credit in claiming that our sharply divided, ebbing and flowing decisions in this area gave rise to ‘clearly established’ federal law.” After this comment, he went on to describe the relevant precedents as “a dog’s breakfast of divided, conflicting, and ever-changing analyses.”
