At least Coinbase doesn’t have a sex, to avoid confusing the non-biologist Justice Brown.

In Brown v. US, the final case of the day: The question in that case was whether for purpose of the Armed Career Criminal Act, which extends the minimum sentence for someone who has been convicted of a felony and possesses a gun when that person has been convicted of at least three “serious drug offenses,” the definition of “serious drug offense” should incorporate the federal drug schedules that were in effect at the time of the state drug offense at issue (as the federal government argues) or instead the federal drug schedules that were in effect either when the individual committed the federal firearm offense or at the time of sentencing for that offense (as the defendants in these cases argue).

The court today held that trial courts should look at federal drugs schedules that were in effect at the time of the state conviction.

Justice Jackson dissented, joined by Justice Kagan and in part by Justice Gorsuch.
