Rounding up some accounts of the latest ACCA wackiness in Wooden
I hope to find some time in the coming days to do some original commentary about the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling in US v. Wooden, No. 20-5279 (S. Ct. March 7, 2022) (available here). I see interesting, telling and problematic aspects to all the opinion in the case, but for now I need to be content here to round up some of what others are saying:
From Law360, “‘Night Of Crime’ Burglar Is No Career Criminal, Justices Say“
From Slate, “Why All Nine Justices Overturned a Ludicrously Cruel Prison Sentence“
From SCOTUSBlog, “Perhaps defining an “occasion” is not so difficult after all“
From The Volokh Conspiracy, “Justices Spar Over How to Interpret the Armed Career Criminal Act“
