My understanding is that the position of Gorsuch was that the law stated the deportations would be for violence and then they were trying to put burglary within the definition of violent crime within the application of the law. His contention was that because the penalty was severe -- liberty among the life, liberty, and property line -- there needs to be more specificity within the law for it to pass constitutional muster.
