Nobody Cares About Federalism, Part the Umpteenth

You will be shocked to learn that the 5 Republican appointees to the Supreme Court declined to defer to state court findings of fact, because doing so might led to someone whose trial was delayed by more than 7 years receiving a remedy.

I will have more about it later, but the Karen Houppert book I reference in the article is very good.
