PROTIP: when an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court warns the reader 11 pages into a 17-page decision that your arguments are "not easy to unpack," you can stop reading and call your client to share the bad news 
(yes, even when it is *this* associate justice of the United States Supreme Court)
That said, most #immigrationlaw arguments worth making aren't "easy to unpack," and *that's* why we get paid the big--uh, moving on
anyway, as @SangreDulce1 said below it's safe to assume the blame for this confusion should fall squarely on #BrettKavanaugh and the small army of clerks he's commandeered from Liberty Law or wherever, none of whom have any interest in learning the law of how not to deport people
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: the prevailing interpretation of the INA on this point "is at odds with common sense"!
IMMIGRATION LAWYERS: welcome to hell sonia
IMMIGRATION LAWYERS: welcome to hell sonia
An important practical note: as an #immigrationlaw practitioner, barring extraordinary rehabilitation factors it seems unlikely that this man would get much of a break in any #immigrationcourt, let alone famously-conservative Atlanta, even if #SCOTUS had accepted his argument
