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.

    I tried to make a find a picture of a topless Sensenbrenner for the post . . . Ever hear the expression "better imagined than shown"?

    Molly, NYC- but then again there is the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words."

    For the love of God and all that's holy, please don't post a photo of a topless Sensebrenner.

    I'm confused. How come Senslessbrenner only rates number 19 on "The BEAST 50 Most Loathsome People in America list"?
    19. James Sensenbrenner: Charges: Hates free speech. Sensenbrenner is every truculent moron who ever shouted you down for informing him or called you a traitor for disagreeing with him. Sensenbrenner wants to apply criminal penalties for broadcast indecency--jail for swearing. Sensenbrenner and his supporters don't know a damn thing about freedom or democracy; they may not even understand that they are clearly against these concepts. They are terrible, mindless, trained by decades of churchgoing into an unquestioning loyalty and a bitter resentment of dissent.
