US Sentencing Commission posts over 1600 pages of public comment on proposed amendments

Perhaps unsurprisingly in light of a whole lot of notable proposed amendments to the US Sentencing Guidelines, the US Sentencing Commission received a whole lot of public comment in response to its "Notice and request for public comment" on these amendments.  Helpfully, for folks interested in seeing some of the highlights, the USSC has made big sample available here with lots of helpful links to each of the issues covered and with this explanation:

The Commission reviews and catalogs all public comment submissions for future reference and official recordkeeping purposes.  A representative sample of public comment is carefully selected, redacted, and posted online to provide the public with the kind of information considered by the Commissioners during their deliberations." 

Especially because I am distracted by a few different and distinct obsessions this weekend, I am certain I will not get a chance to review much of the commentary anytime soon.  But I welcome folks using the comments to flag any especially interesting comments (or any predictions they may have about what the final amendment will look like).
