Supreme Court strikes down key deportation provision, with Gorsuch help

Justice Neil Gorsuch provided the decisive vote Tuesday in a Supreme Court ruling striking down a key provision that made it easier to deport immigrants convicted of violent crimes, in a blow to the Trump administration.

President Trump's Supreme Court pick has largely sided with the conservative members of the bench since his appointment, but sided with the liberal wing on Tuesday.

The court said the part of the law in question is too vague to be enforced.

Define “violent crime” as is used in both federal and state statutes. Make it clear, concise. A “burglary” is not usually classified as a violent crime unless the burglar is carrying a defined weapon (gun, knife, bat/stick, etc).

Time for Congress to get off its ass and do things right for the first time in many decades.

Here’s a sample of how actual Trump supporters react to the ongoing attempted coup against Trump.

‘For the first time in history, we are NOT experiencing a peaceful transition of power. The left’s incessant attacks on our President is treasonous. We stand with Trump!’

From the comments:

‘I suspect that this is because this has been the only true transition of power in a very, very long time.’

The only president in American history that someone wasn’t trying to remove from office was George Washington in his first term. By his second term, even Washington was being viciously attacked (e.g.Thomas Jefferson wrote editorials claiming Washington was senile).
Four presidents were not so peacefully removed from office by bullets in their bodies and another 14 presidents survived assassination attempts. That’s 40% of our presidents that somebody tried to kill or did kill. It goes with the territory but thanks for the advice on how you want people to post.
Once again, when I spoke of a “peaceful transition of power” I was referring to what happened on Inauguration Day. https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2000/winter/inaugurations
After Inauguration Day, you are correct that President Trump has been under constant, unrelenting attack to remove him from office before the constitutional end of his term.

Please. Obama had both the press and the Permanent Political Class drooling all over him. The term, ‘knee-pad press,’ didn’t materialize out of thin air.

As for the people who questioned Obama’s legitimacy, you and the press and the rest of the Obots wore yourselves out calling them/us racist and lunatics. It is precisely because you are an Obot that you can’t differentiate between that and what’s happened to Trump. It’s a blindspot as big as Jupiter.

I’d be dishonest if I didn’t note that aptitude plays a role. I never met an intelligent Obot and I doubt I ever will.

Nothing you wrote changes the fact that the United States has had 44 peaceful transitions of power from an outgoing administration to an incoming administration.

Whoever wrote this original definition down....really didn’t know what they were doing, or intended to create this screw-up intentionally. Violent crime could mean various things. Felony goes down a particular list, and there’s no discussion about felony convictions.
