Challenge to GCA definition of felony

Story here. The underlying problem is well-known. Maryland has (or had?) "common law misdemeanors," for which (I think) the judge could impose an unlimited term of imprisonment. GCA 68 defines as a felony any offense punishable by more than a year's imprisonment, or if the offense is expressly termed a misdemeanor, punishable by more than two year's imprisonment. So the Maryland misdemeanors are GCA felonies.
