The federal “honest services” fraud statute, 18 U.S.C. 1346, raises critical constitutional concerns in that it (i) is unconstitutionally vague and fails to provide the degree of fair warning of its scope or meaning, as required by the Due Process Clause, and (ii) invades a regulatory area constitutionally committed to the states under the doctrine of federalism.
