Rutherford v. United States · ¶98

The majority disagrees with the Commission's judgment, forgetting that this Court “is not free to set aside” the Commission's policy statement “simply because it would have interpreted the statute in a different manner,” Batterton, 432 U. S., at 425. The majority also plumbs history and the First Step Act, searching for limits it cannot find in the compassionate-release statute itself. The majority comes up empty handed.
