Dodd v. United States — Ginsburg, J., dissenting

Summary

Justice Ginsburg dissents, arguing that 28 U.S.C. § 2255(6)(3)'s limitation period should start when a new right is made retroactively applicable, not merely when recognized, to avoid barring claims before they can be brought. She notes that Justice Stevens' dissenting opinion in Graham County supports this interpretation to prevent the absurd result where claims are time-barred before they accrue.
