Juan Smith: Supreme Court opinion seen as "blunt memo" from court to prosecutors. Lyle Denniston; SCOTUSblog.

COMMENTARY: "Opinion recap: Blunt memo to the D.A." by Lyle Denniston; SCOTUSblog.

GIST: "The fact that the Court’s lead opinion — only Justice Clarence Thomas dissented — was written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., added to its authority and raised its visibility. While the opinion virtually brushed off the prosecutors’ defense of Smith’s conviction, Thomas (the author of the majority opinion last Term in the Thompson case) used almost five times as much space (19 pages) as Roberts had, seeking to demolish Smith’s challenge."
