“Uhhh...baloney.

Are you making this up as you go along?”

Do you know how our court system works? It is not the job of the legislature to determine criminal sentences. That is the job of the courts.

Hmmm. So you’re saying of congress were to pass a law saying a 10 year mandatory sentence was required of anyone convicted of using a firearm during the commission of a felony, that would be unconstitutional or a violation of the separation of powers?
