An aside: One of the beefs is that the Hammonds were re-sentenced by some new guidelines, even though they had served and been released.

It appears that this action may only be undertaken within 14 days of a sentence, and that is a great basis for this chicanery to be overturned.

Not true. As I pointed out on one of the other threads (but didn't link to you, so you may not have seen it), this isn't a Sentencing Guidelines issues. It's a statutory minimums issue. The original judge didn't like the Statutory Minimum set by Congress for the offense for which the defendants were convicted, so he sentenced them to less. DOJ appealed, and prevailed at the 9th Circuit. The trial court then had to sentence them as mandated by Congress.

If folks think the minimum is too high, they should take it up with their congressmen. Generally, conservatives are opposed to attempts by federal judges to write their own laws in defiance of Congress. So we know who the conservatives aren't in this matter.

OK, how does the “ file re-sentence witin 14 days” fit in with the “missed deadline to file 8th amendmemt/double jeopardy claim”
