A new case from the Supreme Court verifying what I have been arguing for years:

New case: Another aggravated felony ruling: Alien’s state felony conviction for possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine was categorically a “drug trafficking crime” that constitutes an “aggravated felony” under federal law, rendering him statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. A drug trafficking crime need not involve the use of a firearm to constitute an aggravated felony.
