Revving up for Claiborne and Rita: shameless self-promotion
I am so eagerly anticipating the Supreme Court's work in Claiborne and Rita in part because I have written so much over the last few years about Blakely, Booker and modern sentencing reforms in light of the Court's modern sentencing jurisprudence. With the arguments in Claiborne and Rita now only days away, I cannot resist this self-serving post assembling some of my major writings (with dates of publication):

Prof. Berman, I'm still having trouble squaring your proposed offense/offender distinction with Ring, which, per Apprendi, required the jury to decide offender characteristics (i.e., aggravating factors in a capital sentencing proceeding) and disallowed a judge from doing so.
It doesn't seem like a viable distinction to me, given Ring.

Matt, with my offense/offender distinction, I am not trying to perfectly describe how the Court has developed its Sixth Amendment jurisprudence, rather I have been trying to suggest how the Court should develop this jurisprudence.

Interesting, Doug. Thanks.
