Er, Pretty much...
I received this from one of my students studying for the sentencing final:
Let me get this straight. Booker held that to properly use the federal sentencing guidelines you pick your favorite president (1-43) to get you to the appropiate spot on the offense axis. Then you pick your favorite Brooklyn/L.A. Dodger world series win (1-6) to get you to the correct spot on the criminal history axis. The advisory/ mandatory stuff in the opinion was about the US Supreme Court advising the sentencing commission to add some more numbers on the offense axis bc the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution makes it mandatory that George W. Bush (43rd president) cannot be president forever.
Sadly close to the truth.
