Down goes FSG, down goes FSG….

July 7, 2004

Proving he has a lot more energy than me, Jason Hernandez over at the Blakely Blog has a series of thoughtful posts about the DOJ materials. In addition, he has this breaking news that “United States District Judge Walter Smith, Jr., Chief District Judge of the Western District of Texas, [has] declared the Sentencing Guidelines unconstitutional.” Apparently there is no written opinion yet, but I’ll provide an update when able.

UPDATE: As the comments reveal, according to attorney Jay Baker, Judge Terry Kern of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma has also now held the guidelines unconstitutional.

P.S. I hope there are a few boxing fans out there who get the homage in the title of this post.
