Until one of them gets a bullet...
I agree with this decision.
Rob a store go to jail.
It should matter whether the thief uses a gun or breaks in after hours.
Using a gun isn’t self-evident of an act of violence?
Hmmm, trying to figure out how discharging a weapon in an uncalled for circumstance doesn’t elevate the crime to one of an act of violence, even if no one is shot.
If anyone is injured, it would be a crime of violence.
At any rate, that’s how I see it.
I sure hope he has the same view when it comes to Federal Regulations.
ML/NJ
would that the Stupid SOCTUS could make a distinction regarding “hate crime’
Feds have no business charging robberies anyway, IMO. They should be specifically a state matter. They have perverted the commerce clause into creating a multitude of federal crimes that should be handled at the state level.
Next to go - “hate crmes”......
Gorsuch may not know it, but one benefit of this law was that the feds could prosecute criminals in Lahood when the locals, including judges, simply will not, due to their ‘social justice’ crusade.
Lots of criminals are celebrating tonight.
We hold this truth to be self-evident, if a weapon is brandished or worse, it’s a crime of violence. Duh!
Gorsuch + the 4 liberal, you mean.
I concur.
Vague law is no law at all.
Lots more of these vague laws to get rid of. This is a good start.
Gorsuch is right.
Laws need to be specific. They purposefully make them vague so they can be selectively enforced. Get on the lawmakers to fix it.
So much for a conservative supreme court.
A crime of violence?
Hey, Gorsuch. How about:
1. Oh hey, how you doing? Would you mind giving me all your money? Gee, thanks. I really appreciate it. No, I don’t have a gun. Just my hand in my pocket.
2. GIVE ME ALL YOU’RE GD MONEY!! NOW BITCH BEFORE I BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF (while brandishing a handgun)
To Gorsuch and the liberals, both scenarios are equally hard to define.
It’s not as vague as the Hatecrime Law.
Does anyone else ever get the feeling that the Loony Left goes overboard like they do against conservative SC judges just to make them feel guilty and VOTE liberal?
>> “In our constitutional order, a vague law is no law at all,” Gorsuch wrote.
Then repeal all “Hate Crime” law.
let get rid of hate crimes and laws that give one member of society more importance than another.
If I were a lawyer I would be looking for a hate crime to appeal.
