NOTE: Read Chapter 15 before posting responses in this forum.

For this Discussion Board, please review the Courts, Controversy, & The Administration of Justice box titled “Should Federal Courthouse Doors Be Closed to State Prisoners?” It is found on page 482 in your textbook. Post your responses to the following questions:

Part 1

What do you think?  Include 2 examples of why or why not.

• Should the federal courthouse doors be reopened to state prisoners, particularly those on death row, to ensure that justice is not short-circuited?
• Or should the federal courthouse doors remain as they are now, with only one federal review (unless the case presents an extraordinary issue)?  

Part 2   

Provide 2 examples of why or why not.

• Where should the line be drawn between the interests of justice (ensuring that only the truly guilty are executed) and the need for finality (many of the habeas petitions raise issues that are very unlikely to succeed)?
