Get your response to that.

You win if Justice Thomas' point, though, doesn't make the Commission's judgment clear.
podcast-host
inconsistent with the statute.
podcast-host
You have an answer to that, but there's an if, I think, that goes after what you just said.
podcast-host
Thank you.
podcast-host
Just to pick up on that and Justice Thomas' original question, because the separation of powers issue concerns me here a bit, which is the First Step Act was obviously heavily negotiated and very carefully, a lot of back and forth on that.
podcast-host
And retroactivity is, of course, always a key
podcast-host
element of the negotiations as it was here when you are making a change in the criminal justice and criminal sentencing laws.
podcast-host
And so Congress specifically, I think, says this is not going to be retroactive to those cases where sentences have already been imposed.
podcast-host
And then the Commission, though, then comes in and says we're now going to give a second look for district judges to revisit those sentences, even though Congress
podcast-host
congress in those sentences did not want them made retroactive and that seems to be obviously the commission was very divided on this question and the you know the commission dissenter said this is a seismic structural change to our criminal justice system that countermans congress's judgments and that's my concern on this case and i just want to give you an opportunity again to summarize why you don't think the commission by doing this is kind of
podcast-host
countermanded Congress?
podcast-host
— Were the disparities there, were you?
podcast-host
Some district judges are going to treat this wildly differently than other district judges one imagines, you know, in the same courthouse even.
podcast-host
When you said middle ground earlier, you were really focusing, I think on the 10 year point.
podcast-host
Is that accurate?
podcast-host
Why did Congress distinguish, do you think or do you know, the crack offense retroactivity from the 924C offense retroactivity?
podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
And in your opening, you therefore said the question is whether they have implicitly prohibited.
