“The Due Process Clause precludes the government from taking away a person's life, liberty, or property under a statute 'so vague that it fails to give ordinary people fair notice of the conduct it punishes, or so standardless that it invites arbitrary enforcement.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Board has defined a crime involving moral turpitude as 'conduct that shocks the public conscience as being inherently base, vile, or depraved, and contrary to the accepted rules of morality and the duties owed between persons or to society in general.' We have adopted definitions substantively in line with the Board's.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Since we conclude Baptiste's 2009 Conviction falls within our more-circumscribed interpretation of § 16(b), we need not examine to what extent the reasoning of Voisine applies in the § 16(b) context to broaden our existing interpretation of the provision. We leave that question for another day.”
