Turner v. Arkansas

Mr. Justice Blackmun, with whom Mr. Justice Rehnquist joins,

concurring.

Given the decision in Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U. S. 436 (1970) (see, however, my dissent in Harris v. Washington, 404 U. S. 55, 57 (1971)), I join the judgment of the Court.

The Chief Justice, rather than taking summary action in this case, would hear oral argument and give the matter plenary consideration.
