A federal judge tells the Congress "defendants convicted of drug offenses 'frequently have no idea what they are carrying or receiving.'" How does the Congress react? They start investigating him because he must be soft on crime. They find one (1) case where he was overturned because he sentenced 9 months below the guidelines and two cases wherein he shaved a month off of a 10 year sentence (apparently because some glitch in sentencing guidelines requires 121 months for a ten year sentence). And they go even further, trying to subpoena court records in a search for more downward departures (ironically, on the day that the judge is overturned for possibly sentencing above the guidelines).
The lesson here? Don't be honest to Congress.
