Abstract
Almost no one believes that there is (or must be) some underlying idea or set of ideas that governs every line and chooses every word comprising federal courts law. Yet legal doctrines are, in the main, instrumental. This paper remarks on criticisms of recent developments in the law governing federal habeas corpus for state prisoners.
