It's not just the north woods that are on fire...
For the past day or so, I have pretty much buried myself in the gathering storm over federal cocaine sentencing. First, the Sentencing Commission proposed changing the guidelines, and then yesterday they issued a fascinating (to sentencing geeks) 202-page report to Congress on further reforms. I posted my initial reactions on Doug Berman's blog here.
Two more very important things will follow: (1) Congress will have hearings on the issue (probably the House Judiciary Committee or a Sub-Committee), and (2) The Supreme Court will be heard from, either through Claiborne or perhaps another case (like... Spears?).
Given that I have been working on this issue since I left DOJ in 2000, these are exciting times...

Let us know when we should plan the DC RAZOR fest. Tradelawguy can come and tell us how much he misses Texas and Red can sing show tunes.
