2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“[A] petitioner’s failure to pursue an appeal of a state habeas court's denial of his writ does not defeat the subject matter jurisdiction of a federal court to rule on his petition. The procedural default doctrine ... is not jurisdictional but rather is based on considerations of comity and the orderly administration of criminal justice. See Fay v. Noia, [ 372 U.S. 391 , 430-38, 83 S.Ct. 822 , 844-49, 9 L.Ed.2d 837 (1963)].”
