The problem is that the defendant in the case was subject to deportation because he committed a burglary which is, apparently, a "crime of violence". Not because he was violent during the burglary, but because it's defined as a violent crime because it may be violent, even when it isn't. Which is stupid. And anyone with half a brain can see this. The law is perilously vague in this situation, and SCOTUS was right to nix it.

Good example; it "may" be a violent crime. It may not be. "May" should never appear in the law; "IS", "SHALL", "WILL" should appear in the law. The law should not be subject to interpretation. Ever.
