Whether the Eleventh Circuit's novel construction of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) is inconsistent with the statutory text and in direct conflict with this Court's decision in Wilson v. Sellers

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Eleventh Circuit’s novel construction of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)—under which a state prisoner is ineligible for federal habeas relief even when the state court has “unreasonabl[y]’ rejected his claim, id. § 2254(d)(1)(2), so long as the federal court can provide some reasonable “justification” for the state court’s “reason” for denying relief—is inconsistent with the statutory text and in direct conflict with this Court’s decision in Wilson v. Sellers, 138 S. Ct. 1188 (2018). 2. Whether 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1) applies when a state prisoner seeks federal habeas relief solely on the state-court evidentiary record.
