Abstract
The Sentencing Reform Act was intended to implement Congress' inspired vision of modern criminal sentencing. Comprehensive and binding guidelines were to bring rationality and greater consistency to federal sentencing. With the guidelines promulgated today, however, that vision dims. These guidelines may well produce more irrationality and more unwarranted disparity than exists today.
