Typically misleading media interpretation. Gorsuch ruling mirrored Scalia's 2015 ruling in a similar case that ruled "crimes of violence" is unconstitutionally vague. If anything Gorsuch was upholding Scalia's brand of judicial conservatism and limiting government overreach. A good synopsis of what really happened and Gorsuch's legal reasoning can be found here.

Thanks.

I don’t have a problem with saying that “crimes of violence” is too vague — especially when I can envision some lib arguing so-called “hate speech” is violence against X.

This bears repeating.

There is a remedy here....Congress.

They could make the law(s) less "vague."

Now, as long as we can hold the Congress after this fall, it can be done with enough pressure on them.

limiting government overreach

You deserve an A for effort for trying to make a gem out of a cow patty. Deporting people who are here illegally, whether they have committed additional crimes or not, is not "government overreach." It's the government doing its job.

[Manuel OKelley]

You are correct.

Reading is fundamental.....this type of narrow interpretation is IN our interest and the badly written legislation she be re done.

Thank you for this concise summary. My understanding as well.
