What a sentencing week!

I predicted March Madness in the world of sentencing, but this week alone has brought more sentencing news of note than I ever could imagine.  In addition to all the news I've post here, How Appealing and the SCOTUSblog have had lots of Roper items of late, and this afternoon I see How Appealing also provides links here to an important Ninth Circuit three strikes decision and here to an important Eleventh Circuit prisoner rights decision.  (Readers can guess the outcomes based on the circuits.)

Simply in order to help me organize this amazing start to March, below I continue my tradition (as established here and here and here and here and here) of linking some recent posts.  (I hope regular readers might report in the comments if you find this tradition more annoying than valuable).
