The anti-war movement of 1968 looks inevitable today, but at the time, it felt “freaking bananas.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains the charisma of Bobby Kennedy, the fervor of Eugene McCarthy, and the crushing blow they dealt to sitting President Lyndon B.

On October 30, 2017, the Supreme Court heard argument in Wilson v. Sellers, a case regarding the standard of review federal courts should apply to a final state court denial of habeas relief. In 1996, Marion Wilson, Jr. was sentenced to death after being found guilty of a series of violent crimes culminating in the murder of Donovan Parks. At sentencing Wilson’s counsel argued that Wilson was not the triggerman and offered evidence of his troubled childhood; in response the state prosecutor highlighted Wilson’s criminal history and gang activity. Wilson’s conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal. Wilson sought habeas relief in state superior court, claiming that his trial counsel offered ineffective assistance in his investigation of mitigation evidence during the trial phase of the murder trial. He offered lay testimony about his childhood and expert testimony regarding his judgment skills. The superior court denied habeas relief, concluding that the lay testimony was cumulative of other evidence offered at trial as well as inadmissible, and that the expert testimony would not have changed the outcome of the trial. In a one-sentence order, the Georgia Supreme Court summarily denied Wilson’s subsequent application for a certificate of probable cause to appeal. Wilson then sought habeas relief in federal district court. The district court denied relief, but granted a certificate of appealability on the issue of the effectiveness of Wilson’s trial counsel at sentencing. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the denial of habeas relief. Treating the Georgia Supreme Court’s summary refusal to grant a certificate of probable cause to appeal as the final state court decision on the merits, the Eleventh Circuit applied the test outlined by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 2011 case Harrington v. Richter, asking whether there was any reasonable basis for the Georgia Supreme Court to deny relief. The panel answered that question in the affirmative. Wilson obtained rehearing en banc before the full Eleventh Circuit, however, arguing that under the 1991 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Ylst v. Nunnemaker, the panel should instead have looked “through” the Georgia Supreme Court’s ruling back to “the last reasoned decision” by the state courts. By a vote of 6-5 the Eleventh Circuit disagreed, holding that federal courts need not “look through” a summary decision on the merits to review the reasoning of the lower state court. The Supreme Court subsequently granted certiorari to address whether its decision in Harrington v. Richter abrogates the presumption set forth in Ylst v. Nunnemaker that a federal court sitting in habeas proceedings should “look through” a summary state court ruling to review the last reasoned decision. To discuss the case, we have Lee Rudofsky, Solicitor General of Arkansas.
