2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Our reading of Black persuades us that the court in Morrissey did not hold that a state is prohibited from declaring that parole will be automatically revoked for serious violations such as a conviction of a felony. Black also teaches that it is only where the factfinder has discretion to continue parole that the parolee is entitled to show an excuse for violation or that revocation is not appropriate.”
