“errors of state law cannot be repackaged as federal errors simply by citing the Due Process Clause”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In habeas cases [], district courts act after the state court has decided the state law and applied it to the same record that is before the habeas court. To permit federal courts to speculate about the direction state law may take in the face of an authoritative final decision of a state court in the same case would directly interfere with the state’s ability to decide the meaning of its own law.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Gall v. Parker“'[I]t is well established that a state court's misapplication of its own law does not generally raise a constitutional claim. The federal courts have no supervisory authority over state judicial proceedings and may intervene only to correct wrongs of constitutional dimension.'”
