Staying on task and clarification of MP3 options

Remember, wonderful and patient and understanding students, that we are finally going to (try to) return to our usual programming by working on the sentencing or Rob Anon.  Specifically, it is very important that you come to class today (Tuesday) with an exact sentence you wish to impose on Rob Anon assuming you are a sentencing judge sentencing him under federal sentencing law in 1975 when federal prisoners were eligible for parole but only after serving at least 1/3 of the formal sentence announced at initial sentencing and when there were no federal mandatory minimum sentencing terms.

In addition to talking about your sentencing decision(s), I also will try to clarify the mini-paper options (and the reasons you have options), which are based a bit on these two recent posts on my main blog:

• Looking for the best "anti-Garland" on Prez-Elect Donald Trump's SCOTUS not-so-short list

• Respond to Election 2016 outcomes by writing a commentary for the Federal Sentencing Reporter
