Allen Ryan Alleyne, Petitioner v. United States. — Alito, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Alito dissents, arguing that the majority’s overruling of Harris v. United States disregards stare decisis and that the Court’s reliance on the Apprendi line is historically and doctrinally flawed. He contends that overturning precedent requires more than a simple majority disagreement and warns that the new precedent on precedent may have far‑reaching effects. The dissent does not change the outcome of the case.
