#1 so all Congress would need to do would be to adequately define 'Crime of Violence' in the statute

#2 According to Gorsuch the way the law was written it could be used to abuse the rights of legal citizens, which goes against the will of the original framers. In other words, technically the law just needs proper rewriting for Gorsuch to allow it to stand.

#3 The word on Gorsuch was always that he calls them like he sees them. No guarantee you'll like the result.

#4 Actually this seems a fair point.

Write the law properly Congress.

#5 Write the law properly Congress.

Golly, BP, I can't think of any one action that would solve more problems than this.

Clean up all those squishy laws that allow the untrammeled abuse by the bureaucracy, corruption processes in the dozens.

Gee, I think that may be what the founders had in mind, no?

#7 alanc

you make a good point, many, many laws are, as you say, squishy

the problem with fixing the squishiness is that the squish is there on purpose

in the case at hand, the cops probably had Mr. Dimaya on several counts but he pleaded down to burglary (which Gorsuch found is not obviously violent). Had he pleaded to 'breaking and entering', it would have been different

#8 Yep, LG, much, maybe most, of the squishiness is there on purpose depending on who's doing what to whom.

The growth of the bureaucracy didn't happen by accident. The more loop holes and nuances the more chances for wealth manipulation.

Make the laws tight and Insty's phrase comes in; "Where's the graft in that?"
