Blakely

So the Circuits don't know what to do with Blakely, and they've been issuing all kinds of crazy decisions. The Second took the rare step of asking the SCOTUS to fix the mess they'd made right away. The SCOTUS didn't take them up on the (somewhat impertinent) invitation, but will hear U.S. v. Booker and U.S. v. Fanfan (from other Circuits) on the first day of the term in October.

The Blakely blog is reliably on top of Blakely-related developments.
