Sentencing Guidelines

I'll have to read up more on the Supreme Court decision about sentencing guidelines.

But the first thing that this makes me think of is the horrendous decision in the University of Michigan case.
In that case, the Supreme Court essentiallu ruled that quotas were okay, as long as you were circumspect enough (or dishonest enough) in how you applied them.

If this new ruling is anyhting like that, where the Supreme Court tries to play both sides of the fence in order to appease everybody, then it will have destroyed the last vestiges of respect that any decent American has for the process.
