Yes! That I remember :) He kind of had a habit of getting places to pass unconstitutional laws and then help plaintiffs file sue over those very same laws. The man is an utter asshat.

DOJ wants Bannon fined $200,000 "based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation."

I tried that once when a cop pulled me over for speeding, "But everyone else is too, why did you pick me to ticket?" Didn't work. Went to court, didn't work there either but they did lower the ticket to 1-10 over the limit for me (was 11-15). But I didn't claim any freedom of speech, just everybody else was doing it, why can't I?

I wish they would have fined him the full $200k, arrogant SOB, but I'm pleased with the four months in the pokey. Is that a real four months, or is there time off for good behavior, etc.

As I understand it, 5 days off per month for good behavior nominally, but the calculus is kind of confusing and in practice works out to be less than that.

Edited to add “per month.”

There was a story a few years ago about a Native teenager who died in custody from alcohol withdrawal syndrome or something similar. I wish I could find it. This sounds similar.

The inmates AKA Cellies will enforce bathing unless he is in solitaire. The have been known to scrub nasty smelly people with toilet brushes an mop water until the skill is learned.

I don't think they will go at him like that. They know he has money.

I thought it only applied if the sentence was longer than 1 year, which is why some are sentenced to a year and a day.
