Exactly. But it’s even worse. These are CRIMINAL illegal invaders we are talking about here.
Justice Gorsuch never said that such illegal invaders CAN’T be deported.
Having said this much, it is important to acknowledge some limits on todays holding too.... Vagueness doctrine represents a procedural, not a substantive, demand. It does not forbid the legislature from acting toward any end it wishes, but only requires it to act with enough clarity that reasonable people can know what is required of them and judges can apply the law consistent with their limited office. Our history surely bears examples of the judicial misuse of the so-called substantive component of due process to dictate policy on matters that belonged to the people to decide. But concerns with substantive due process should not lead us to react by withdrawing an ancient procedural protection compelled by the original meaning of the Constitution.
Todays decision sweeps narrowly in yet one more way. By any fair estimate, Congress has largely satisfied the procedural demand of fair notice even in the INA provision before us. The statute lists a number of specific crimes that can lead to a lawful residents removalfor example, murder, rape, and sexual abuse of a minor. Our ruling today does not touch this list. We address only the statutes residual clause where Congress ended its own list and asked us to begin writing our own.
Just as Blackstones legislature passed a revised statute clarifying that cattle covers bulls and oxen, Congress remains free at any time to add more crimes to its list. It remains free, as well, to write a new residual clause that affords the fair notice lacking here. Congress might, for example, say that a conviction for any felony carrying a prison sentence of a specified length opens an alien to removal. Congress has done almost exactly this in other laws. What was done there could be done here.
But those laws are not this law. And while the statute before us doesnt rise to the level of threatening death for pretended offences of treason, no one should be surprised that the Constitution looks unkindly on any law so vague that reasonable people cannot understand its terms and judges do not know where to begin in applying it. A government of laws and not of men can never tolerate that arbitrary power. And, in my judgment, that foundational principle dictates todays result....
This is about ILLEGAL INVADERS, not citizens.
So it won’t change what Trump and us patriots want done
Good
