« What Blakely is really about: adversarial versus administrative justice | Main | The Respondents' Briefs in Booker and Fanfan »

Here come the amici for Respondents

In what I suspect is just the first two of a number of amicus filings, I have received the amicus briefs being filed by Families Against Mandatory Minimums and by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers with the Supreme Court today in the Booker and Fanfan cases. The FAMM and NACDL efforts, both which address the applicability of Blakely to the federal guidelines and severability issues, can be downloaded here:

I hope to add any and all the other amicus filings I receive to this post and to use a separate post for the filings of the parties. Check back in later in the day, since I believe all the briefs must be filed this afternoon.

UPDATE: And now I have in copies of amicus briefs filed by the Washington Legal Foundation and by the National Association of Federal Defenders and by the New York Council of Defense Lawyers. The WLF and NAFD and NYCDL efforts can be downloaded below:

I cannot get the Washington Legal Foundation to print. Is anyone else having this problem?

I got it to print, it went through Adobe Acrobat.

I got it to work. I had to print it as an image. The other way it was taking up to 5 mins a page to print.
