Justice Sotomayor received a well earned (laughter) here. In Nevada Comm’n on Ethics v. Carrigan, she responded to an argument about a vague law, contending that all laws under Respondent’s strict standard would be unconstitutionally vague:

JUSTICESOTOMAYOR: How will we ever write — how will the Congress ever write a law that would be so clear that clients would never have to go to lawyers -46

(Laughter.)

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: — or that lawyers couldn’t disagree about? We would have to invalidate virtually every law as vague.

Well said.
