The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a ruling Friday that a Jan. 6, 2021, defendant's sentence must be recalculated because of the improper use of a federal statute allowing more time to be added to the penalty.

The decision could force district court judges to recalculate or even reduce punishments of more than 100 defendants convicted of felony obstruction.

The Justice Department has been asking judges to add an "administration of justice" enhancement in the Jan. 6 cases, in connection with federal sentencing guidelines that encourage the designation to be added in disruption cases involved in judicial proceedings, allowing sentences to be increased by more than a year, reports Politico.

Here is a list of all 45 Presidents of the United States, in chronological order.” There then follows an ordinary list of our nation’s chief executives, entirely ordinary, with Grover Cleveland’s nonconsecutive second term helpfully marked “(again),” just in case you might think the repetition of his name was a mistake in the list. The real mistake, although it was certainly no unintentional error, doesn’t occur until the end of the list, when we see “44. Barack Obama 45. Joe Biden.” Then Meta AI chirps: “Let us know if you have any other questions!” Even Andrew Sullivan takes on Google's Brave New Woke-AF World "When DEI merges with AI, the post-truth dystopia will become impossible to escape."
