Supreme Court of the United States

Travis Beckles v. United States. — Kennedy, J., Concurring

March 6, 2017137 S. Ct. 886

Summary

Justice Kennedy concurs in the judgment, arguing that the Due Process vagueness doctrine applies to sentencing guidelines and that the career‑offender guideline at issue was not unconstitutionally vague. He contends the majority’s sweeping immunity for the Guidelines is unnecessary and unsound, and would defer broader rulings to a future case. The judgment is affirmed.
