The question presented is: Whether, without meaningful analysis and sub­ stantive evidence, the Eighth Circuit exceeded its scope in determining a capable of ascertainment crite­ rion, and in so doing, infringed upon constitutional rights, particularly with regard to the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
