Indeed. Additionally there are questions regarding how clear a statute needs to be before you send people to prison for 5 years. Crime by analogy, once the bread and butter of Soviet justice, has unfortunately been becoming more common in the US (see the prosecution of Jeffrey Skilling for "honest services fraud" and the prosecution of Dr Hurwitz for unlawful distribution of narcotics).

Are you really offering up the CEO of Enron and a doctor who prescribed up to 1.6k pills per day to a single patient as victims of the big bad US Gov?
Can you explain 'crime by analogy' a little bit? A google search yields surprisingly little.
