In Season 2, Episode 1 of Notorious, we explore Justice Ginsburg’s influence on overcriminalization in our justice system. Specifically, we discuss the broad statutes passed by Congress, the latitude afforded to prosecutors under these statutes, judicial interpretations of the law and the possibility that strict literalism in interpretation can lead to unintended results.
We analyze the cases of Cleveland v. United States, Skilling v. United States, Yates v. United States, as well as Justice Ginsburg’s dissent in Pasquantino v. United States. We conclude the episode discussing Justice Ginsburg’s doctrinal views with respect to overcriminalization and scrutinize the role Congress must play in amending such laws when vagueness and ambiguities in statutory language are laid bare.
