Exactly, the problem with the law is that it is not well enough drafted to cover what the government wanted it to cover. Vague laws being unenforceable is a very important jurisprudential concept. I’m a little disturbed the rest of the conservative members of the Court did not think Johnson applied (other than Alito who dissented in the earlier case, too). That said, I have only skimmed the two cases, not perused them, so it is possible I am missing some finer points.
