Terance Martez Gamble, Petitioner v. United States — Ginsburg, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Ginsburg dissents from the Court’s affirmation of the dual‑sovereign doctrine, arguing that the Double Jeopardy Clause bars successive state and federal prosecutions for the same conduct. She contends that the doctrine rests on a flawed interpretation of “offense” and ignores historical and common‑law understandings. Ginsburg would reverse the federal conviction and reject the separate‑sovereign exception.
