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\u2019s dissent in Pasquantino v. United States. We conclude the episode discussing Justice Ginsburg\u2019s 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.&amp;nbsp; Patterson Belknap Partners Michelle Bufano, Lauren Schorr Potter, and Harry Sandick discuss Justice Ginsburg\u2019s legacy on this issue.
