WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a law subjecting immigrants to deportation for crimes of violence is unconstitutionally vague, handing the Trump administration an early defeat.

President Trump's nominee to the high court, Justice Neil Gorsuch, joined most of the liberal majority's 5-4 opinion in deciding that the law passed by Congress failed to define what would qualify as a violent crime. He based his concurrence on a similar 2015 decision written by his predecessor, Justice Antonin Scalia.

Vague laws, Gorsuch wrote, "can invite the exercise of arbitrary power ... by leaving the people in the dark about what the law demands and allowing prosecutors and courts to make it up. The law before us today is such a law."

Indeed, vague laws are bad laws.
