The U.S. Sentencing Commission's lone remaining member said on Thursday that President Joe Biden should urgently nominate enough new commissioners to allow it to operate and help implement a major 2018 criminal justice reform law.
Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, the only commissioner left on the seven-person commission and its acting chair, said it was frustrating that the panel was unable to enact new policies and that he had urged the White House to nominate new members.
"I would be surprised and dismayed if nominees are not sent to the Senate by the early part of next year," Breyer, who sits in San Francisco, said in an interview with Reuters.
The commission lost its quorum in January 2019, a month after former President Donald Trump signed into law the First Step Act, bipartisan legislation aimed at easing harsh sentencing for non-violent offenders and at reducing recidivism.
Breyer said the lack of quorum meant it could not provide guidance on how to implement the law, creating a "vacuum" in which judges inconsistently decide whether inmates under the measure can secure compassionate release amid the COVID-19 pandemic. | |

U.S. Rep. Fred Upton has received well over 1,000 callsincluding multiple "nasty" death threats since he voted for a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
The congressman said the calls started after his Republican colleague, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, publicly posted the names and phone numbers of Upton and a dozen other GOP House members who voted in support of the bill, calling them "traitors." | |

In this episode of “Movement Memos,” Native journalists Kelly Hayes and Rebecca Nagle talk about the right-wing plot to bring down a child welfare law and why the fundamental rights of Native people, the fate of tribal lands and “the very shape of what passes for democracy” in the U.S. are at stake. | |

Two teenagers who prosecutors say started a gunfight outside a Sharon Hill high school football game that led to the fatal police shooting of 8-year-old Fanta Bility in August have been charged with murder in connection with her death.
Stollsteimer has said Fanta was struck by a bullet fired by one of three Sharon Hill police officers who were monitoring the crowd leaving Academy Park High School after the season-opening football game against Pennsbury. It remains unclear which officer fired the shot that killed her, but all three have told investigators they opened fire on a vehicle they mistakenly believed was involved in the shooting between Ford and Strand, which prosecutors said took place about a block from the stadium. | |
