6/24/19: In our republic, a speculative possibility that a man’s conduct violated the law should never be enough to justify taking his liberty

The subject line comes from Justice Gorsuch's opinion in United States v. Davis, 588 U.S. --- (2019).

Long opinion short: The residual clause of section 18 U.S.C 924(c) -- 924(c)(3)(B) -- was struck down as unconstitutionally vague.  The decision follows closely on Johnson and Dimaya.  

This is very good news.
