It is demeaning to the judicial process and to the judges. Sure, we all read in the newspaper about apparently wacky sentencing here and there, but very often those are urban legends. The McDonald's lawsuit where a lady spilled a cup of coffee in her lap and got millions of dollars in damages is one of the urban legends. She did spill coffee in her lap; it was boiling. They had been warned not to heat it so high and she had third-degree burns to her thighs. So the urban legend is quite misleading.
We have these urban legends on sentencing, and occasionally a court may go wrong. We have rights of appeal to address that. That's what they're for.
Judges are overwhelmingly diligent, just as legislators are overwhelmingly diligent, and they want to do justice. An individual may see it differently from a judge. Any of us may see it differently. We are all fallible human beings. But it is not respectful to the judicial process or to the individual judges to be prescriptive as opposed to empowering.
