Sensenbrenner To Go Topless
Congressman James "The Menace" Sensenbrenner is about to strike again -- this time, he's going to urge going topless. Via Law Prof Doug Berman at Sentencing Law and Policy:
I have now heard from two different sources that House Judiciary Chair James Sensenbrenner intends to introduce a bill mandating topless guidelines, and that there will be a hearing concerning the solution to the post-Booker sentencing problems that he identifies sometime in early May. My impression from the House hearing earlier this month was that most of the witnesses did a powerful job urging Congress to leave Booker alone for now, but apparently Sensenbrenner was unconvinced. Needlesss to say, this is a story to watch, and the links below provide plenty of background.
Tranlsation: For federal crimes, the top of the sentencing guidelines will now mean the sky's the limit.
P.S. I tried to make a find a picture of a topless Sensenbrenner for the post, but am not adept enough to create one. If any readers can come up with one, please send it on, anonymously or for credit.
