"The government is recommending a guidelines sentence, meaning between zero and six months in jail... It's not sufficient to comply with the purposes of sentencing. It doesn't reflect the seriousness of the crime and the conduct surrounding it. It doesn't provide just punishment for the offense to give simply a guidelines sentence."

It is as least as likely that I am wrong than that the reporting is wrong, but, there you go.
