*502DENNIS, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I join fully in Judge DeMoss’s opinion. Moreover, I heartily endorse Judge Higginbotham’s analysis of the state’s failure to develop argument and applaud the passion and eloquence with which he argues. Further, I believe that Judge Higginbotham’s reasoning, and that of the Supreme Court in Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 420, 120 S.Ct. 1479, 146 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), should inform this court’s application of the exhaustion rubric.
