White House wants judge to show a little creativity, screw the guidelines thing

I mean, hey, here we are, locking all those people up, spending a fortune on prisons.

(America's prison population topped 2 million inmates for the first time in history on June 30, 2002 according to a new report from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics.)

But Commander Guy has come up with a solution, Tony Snowjob explains.

Snow said the White House view was this: “You treat it as if he has already served the 30 months, and probation kicks in. Obviously, the sentencing judge will figure out precisely how that works.”

So there you go, Bunky! Just skip the jail. Surely the judge can figure that one out. He should have been able to figure it out for himself, without bothering the Deciderer. It's just so hard to get good creative judges these days.
