Question Presented (from Petition)
1. If Davis holds § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague, is that ruling retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review?
2. If Davis reinterprets § 924(c)(3)(B) to require a "conduct-based" approach because the statute is unconstitutionally vague under the categorical approach, does a second or successive § 2255 petition challenging a conviction under the unconstitutional categorical approach "contain . . . a new rule of constitutional law" as required by § 2255(h)(2)?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the 'crime of violence' definition in 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague
