Swain v. Pressley

Mr. Justice Powell,

concurring.

I concur in the opinion of the Court. In view, however, of the separate opinion filed today by The Chief Justice, I write merely to make clear that I do not read Part II of the Court’s opinion as being incompatible with the views I have expressed previously with respect to the nature and scope of habeas corpus. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U. S. 218, 250 (1973) (Powell, J., concurring).
