IIUC, he agrees with the opinion that the law as written is too vague on what constitutes a violent crime. Now to me, it’s like indecency; I can’t really define it, but I know it when I see it. But to a legal mind distinctions like that matter, and criminals can get off scot-free because of them.
So, just rewrite the law to remove all doubt as to the nature of the crimes, and resubmit it. He’ll do his job again, as he did this time, and the deficiency will be corrected.
What Senate do you think could pass any bill that makes it easier to deport criminals? He could have just helped out by deciding what Congress really meant, to say sort of like fee/fine/tax.
By calling this guy brilliant you necessarily call the other four stupid, right?
