That's right enough - but re-sentencing after the fact seems like double jeopardy to me.
The judge should step down in shame, that's for sure.

He is being re-sentenced because Rand Paul appealed the original one:

And totally agree with you about the judge.  That original sentence was just pathetic.

Ahhh. That's a different story - A continuance... I see.
Thank you.

So, I assume this is a remand back to the Judge that gave the 30-day sentence.  That Judge will just find a better justification to break guidelines again.

I'm not sure.  It's being sent back to the district court, but I can't find any information about whether it goes back to the same judge.

Maybe some of our local legal representatives can tell us how that works.

They're all still arguing about how many Second Amendments can dance on the head of a pin.

... and whether that dance is when life begins.
