Well, (none / 0) (#5)

  I was long, long  ago disabused of any tendency to await favorable opinions from the Supreme Court.

  However, as I said in my first post, I think there is reason to hope Kimbrough will result in reversing the 4th, if only on the ground that it is not good enough to call a district court's judgment as to sentencing "presumptively unreasonable" and pack it in in three paragraphs.

  More than that and "real" encouragement for district courts to consider the unfairness, illogic and disproortionate resulyts caused by the 100:1? I'm not betting my retirement fund.
