THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES WATSON V. UNITED STATES: “The question is whether a person who trades his drugs for a gun ‘uses’ a firearm ‘during and in relation to … [a] drug trafficking crime’ within the meaning of 18 U. S. C. §924(c)(1)(A).1 We hold that he does not.” This isn’t really a gun case, particularly, but in my look ahead at this Supreme Court term I wrote: “The case itself is only moderately interesting, but the Court’s handling of this question should shed some light on the interpretive style of the Roberts Court and its new members. The statute seems pretty clearly to have envisioned firearms ‘’use’ in a gun-slinging, Miami Vice sense. . . . The ‘‘tough on crime’’ interpretation leaves Watson in jail; the narrow, ‘rule of lenity’ approach probably lets him go free. The Court’s choices may prove revealing.” Draw your own conclusions.
