concurring in the result.
The Court says that what happened in this case violated the petitioner’s “rights under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment as applied to the States.” I concur in the Court’s judgment, because I think the petitioner was deprived of his liberty without due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. This difference in view is, of course, far more than a matter of mere semantics. See my opinion concurring in the result in Pointer v. Texas, ante, p. 409.
