Booker and Fanfan

Here's a good place to start if you're interested in this.

Frankly, the whole thing makes me kind of ill. First, imagine how bad it sucks to be sentenced yesterday. Second, after everyone involved in this debate bitched and moaned all summer long about how confusing everything associated with Blakely was, SCOTUS speaks with six separate opinions based on two separate 5-4 splits over 118 pages. What a joke. I'm sorry, but this stinks of intellectual copouts, silly theoretical infighting, and a total refusal to operate in the real world.

I remember back in elementary and high school when I thought the Supreme Court was noble and functional. Do kids still feel that way? Or did everyone get the picture after Bush v. Gore?
