Off to Minnesota

As discussed more fully here, Monday I head to Minnesota to give this talk to a local ACS chapter.  I likely will be off-line most of the day.  But, continuing my trend of heavy weekend blogging (consider last Sunday’s posting), I leave behind lots of recent copy.  And, in addition to the weekend posts linked below, assembled and linked in this post are major developments from earlier this month.

Weekend posts:

• Summarizing all the Booker action
• Retroactivity contrasts and contentions
• Death penalty items around the blogsphere
• The blossoming sentencing literature
• Rethinking parole and its place in modern sentencing
• Forging a new sentencing politics
• Pondering the USSC’s role after Booker
• The human face of retroactivity
