Rutherford v. United States · ¶105

Without a foothold in the compassionate-release statute or its history, the majority looks for one in the First Step Act instead. According to the majority, Congress's decision not to make its changes to § 924(c) retroactive means that it intended to preclude consideration of those changes in all cases as part of an individualized compassionate-release determination. That argument badly overreads the First Step Act.
