Writing for the majority, Justice Kagan concluded her opinion with “Death to America!”
DAMN these Libard lawyers, wrecking our country.
They always pretend something is “too vague” when they don’t want it. Of course, they can rationalize anything at all when they do want it.
If Justice Gorsuch agreed it was too vague, that’s good enough for me.
Was it too vague? They upheld a lower court ruling, perhaps it IS too vague to pass the sniff test and it needs to be rewritten to be completely iron clad.
Not a total loss, but a definite setback for the time schedule though.
She doesn’t live in the neighborhood where this decision will have an impact.
But “Gun Control” is not vague enough to enforce.
Good one, guys.
And don’t expect McConnell or Ryan to craft new legislation to clarify and tighten up the definitions of “crimes of violence”.
No, they like things as they have just turned out, just like Obamacare.
They hate America; America is For Sale, and so are they.

The story speaks about resolutions pertaining to LEGAL immigrants. From the summary, I can’t tell if it impacts illegal invaders, which were the core of DJT’s campaign.
Shame on alleged "justice" Gorsuch.
One hopes he will gain wisdom and insight for correct interpretation of our Constitution in following decisions.
OK...re-write the law in a clearer fashion.
When has a Left appointed SCOTUS ever sided with our side on the key issues?
Anything that the ASSPRESS writes is most likely, and should be presumed to be, a lie, unless and until proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, otherwise.
Justice Gorsuch did NOT join Kagan’s opinion. He wrote a an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
HIS opinion, is actually the controlling opinion under the Marks rule, because it provided the narrowest grounds needed to get to the 5 votes on the judgment.
Read his opinion, NOT the ASSPRESS rendition of his opinion, and you will see that the ASSPRESS is lying, as usual.

Who is any court to tell the president he cannot deport anybody?
If SCOTUS says “crime of violence” is too vague, Ryan and McConnell can draft a revision to the statute in 20 minutes, pass it in both houses in a week, and have it on President Trump’s desk for signature.
But Ryan and McConnell are open border globalists.
Spit.
Sounds like something that can be rewritten more tightly, then permitted, however.
The Supreme Court has absolutely NO SAY on matters of immigration.
That is solely the purview of the Executive Branch.
Justice Kagan. Born and raised in New York City. Went to Harvard Law School.
Her adjustment to the atmosphere of Harvard was rocky, she received the worst grades of her entire law school career in her first semester.
While at the University of Chicago, she published a law review article on the regulation of First Amendment hate speech in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul; an article discussing the significance of governmental motive in regulating speech;and a review of a book by Stephen L. Carter discussing the judicial confirmation process. In the first article, which became highly influential, Kagan argued that the Supreme Court should examine governmental motives when deciding First Amendment cases and analyzed historic draft-card burning and flag burning cases in light of free speech arguments.
Kagan joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School as an assistant professor in 1991.
In 1993, Senator Joe Biden appointed Kagan as a special counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee. During this time, she worked on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
Kagan served as Associate White House Counsel for Bill Clinton.
In 2001, she was named a full professor and in 2003 was named Dean of the Law School by Harvard University President Lawrence Summers.
During her deanship, Kagan upheld a decades-old policy barring military recruiters from the Office of Career Services because she felt that the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy discriminated against gays and lesbians.
As dean, Kagan supported a lawsuit intended to overturn the Solomon Amendment so military recruiters might be banned from the grounds of schools like Harvard.
On January 5, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama announced he would nominate Kagan to be Solicitor General.

If the only problem is that the law is too vague, then make it clear by listing specific “crimes of violence,” e.g., Murder I,II,III, aggravated assault, simple assault, vehicular homicide, rape, etc. Problem solved.
This is BS ... but OK ... just rewrite the law to replace “crimes of violence” with specific crimes.
