Bowe v. United States · ¶146

Unable to identify any plausible authority in existing law for its clear-statement rule, the majority is ultimately left to summon it from the ether. To be sure, my colleagues begin by pointing to the (unremarkable) principle that this Court does not read “statutory silence as implicitly modifying or limiting . . . jurisdiction that another statute specifically grants.” Hertz Corp. v. Friend, 559 U. S. 77, 83 (2010); Felker, 518 U. S., at 660–661. But from there, the majority engages in pure invention, devising a broad new legal rule that even express limitations on our certiorari jurisdiction are unenforceable absent a clear statement. See ante, at 25.
