Barrett v. United States · ¶69

Like its silence in the statutory text, Congress's debate- foor silence says a lot. The Blockburger presumption is “long-settled,” Gamble v. United States, 587 U. S. 678, 710 (2019), muscular, and fundamental to our law. We think it highly unlikely that the “ `lawyer's body' ” that is Congress, Albernaz, 450 U. S., at 341 (quoting Callanan v. United States, 364 U. S. 587, 594 (1961)), discarded Blockburger without comment here.
