• “Lockhart failed to point to a relevant Supreme Court case, [and] our own search . . . also failed to locate such a case.”
• where the Supreme Court had expressly declined to decide the issue in a prior case, the petitioner faced “an impossible hurdle in showing the state court contradicted, or unreasonably applied, clearly established federal law”
