For now, though, I'm headed up to the courtroom for Duncan v. Owens arguments.
#SCOTUS -
First take out of Duncan v. Owens
#SCOTUS arguments: AEDPA. Boy, I don't know. -
Despite some tough questions to the IL SG from Kennedy, Ginsburg and Breyer both came down hard on the defendant's lawyer.
-
Hard to imagine how this ends well for Owens, the defendant.
-
In short, it would appear that AEDPA just sets up too many presumptions against a defendant to succeed in a challenge like this.
