Still more collected Booker commentary
January 19, 2005
I collected much of last week’s Booker commentary here and here, and because I may need to be off-line much of today, I thought I might usefully do another such collection of more recent posts on Booker:
- Engaging with the sentencing revolution, sort of
- The importance of counsel, and the challenges of judging it
- The critical, and still confusing, “prior conviction” exception
- Silent switches
- Taking stock of advisory guideline systems
- Ex post facto, due process and cases in the pipeline
In addition, yesterday I did a segment with Professor Al Alschuler covering Booker and related issues for the Chicago Public Radio show Odyssey, which can be accessed via the web here. The questions from the Odyssey host, as well as from callers, helped make this program, in my view, especially thoughtful and interesting.
