Talk:Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996

message: I reverted.  Habeas corpus is not the means to "relitigate" whether one's conviction or sentence was obtained in violation of the United States Constitution.  It is to test it in the first instance.  There has been no litigation on the subject before habeas proceedings are commeneced.  A habeas corpus proceeding is not an appeal.  It is a separate lawsuit, civil in nature, filed against the person confining the convicted person on the basis that the confinement is illegal.  Extra-record evidence (i.e., evidence beyond what is contained in the record of the trial) may be introduced to prove the allegations. Unended 07:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not completely true (though it's not completely false, either).  To file a federal habeas petition challenging state confinement due to a criminal conviction, you have to have exhausted your remedies in state court, i.e. brought the constitutional claims already to the highest state court and had them rejected there.

message: AEDPA had an impact outside of habeas law.  If memory serves, it also enacted a change to immigration law (along with the IIRIRA).  Maybe someone could add something about that. ---Axios023 05:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Also

message: Quoting:  "Other provisions of the AEDPA created entirely new statutory law. For example, before AEDPA the *judicially created abuse* of the writ doctrine restricted the presentation of new claims through subsequent habeas petitions." -- Wonderstruck (talk) 13:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality?

message: IANAL, but my understanding is that the Supreme Court avoided the Constitutional question by construing AEDPA not to affect the "original" habeas jurisdiction (which is technically appellate) of the Supreme Court, so that it still retains statutory authority to issue a writ to someone in the extraordinary circumstance of an unconstitutional conviction or sentence that cannot be remedied by any other means, AEDPA notwithstanding.  If this is correct, should it be mentioned in the article? 24.5.194.110 (talk) 07:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Original habeas?

message: The Contract with America was introduced in 1994, and the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act was originally introduced by Bob Dole as the "Comprehensive Terrorism Prevention Act of 1995" in 1995 as a result of the Oklahoma City Bombing.
