US Sentencing Commission getting an early start on possible guideline amendment
Traditionally, the US Sentencing Commission holds a meeting in January to proposed amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines for the year. But via email today I received this notice about the USSC getting off to a quicker start this season:
Please join the United States Sentencing Commission for a public meeting on December 9th at 11:30 a.m. (ET) where commissioners may vote to publish proposed amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines.
Amendments proposed during the meeting will stem from this year’s list of policy priorities. The meeting will be held at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, One Columbus Circle NE, in Suite 2-500 (South Lobby). Please note that if you cannot attend in person, it will be broadcast live.
The agenda is as follows:
- Vote to Adopt August 2016 Meeting Minutes
- Report from the Chair
- Possible Vote to Publish Proposed Guideline Amendments and Issues for Comment

This is happening because these shameless ruiners of sentencing procedure won't have the required 4 voting members after the 1st of the new year. Their continued desperate struggle for relevance is pathetic.
