Whether and to what extent the criminal justice system tolerates racial discrimination in selection of its jurors
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Gregory Hill's case raises pressing issues of National importance: Whether and to what extent the criminal justice system tolerates racial discrimination in selection of its jurors; and whether the federal court applied and imposed on Mr. Hill a unduly burdensome review which deprived Mr. Hill of his due process to a Constitutional review on his factual issues relative to his Batson claim. Wherein Eighth Circuit jurisprudence is that: "no Court has established bright-line rules about how much a State Court must say or the language it must use to compel a §2254 Court's conclusion that the State Court has adjudicated a claim on the merits,” see Brown v. _ Lubbers, 371 F.3d 458) 469-61 (8th Cir. 2004). Does the above Eighth Circuit Ruling contravene this Court's Precedents of Anderson v. Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, at 573 (1985) which establish a bright-line rule when reviewing a discrimination claim or error; and does the above Eighth Circuit jurisprudence contravene Congressional Intent set out 4§ 2254 and its Amendments which states: "(1) that the merits of the factual dispute were not resolved in the State court hearing; "(2) that the factfinding procedure employed by the State court was not adequate to afford a full and fair hearing; and "(6) that the applicant did net receive a full, fair, and adequate hearing in the State court proceeding and this Court's Precedent in Thomas v. Keohane, 516 U.S. 99, l11L 116 %$.Ct. 457 (1995)? : i Lia .
