SCALIA, J., Concurring Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

---

483 U.S. 219

Puerto Rico v. Branstad

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT

---

No. 85-2116 Argued: March 30, 1987 --- Decided: June 23, 1987

JUSTICE SCALIA, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.

I concur in the result, and in the portions of the Court's opinion applying 18 U.S.C. § 3182 and overruling Kentucky v. Dennison, 24 How. 66 (1861), insofar as it interpreted the predecessor of that statute. I note that no party before us has asserted the lack of power of Congress to require extradition from a State to a Territory.
