You Can Take Your Sentencing Guidelines and ...

In Massachusetts we have another federal judge taking on the federal sentencing guidelines. In fact, he is finding them unconstitutional. You can read his lengthy opinion here. I don't know that I'll ever make it all the way through it, but what I have read is interesting. Sadly, I doubt it will lead to much change in the system.

Update: Well, having read the whole thing last night, it's really quite interesting. It'll be interesting to see what the First Circuit does with it.
