I really don't mean to be dismissive but these SCOTUS calls don't do much to stifle or fuel most meaningful cjreform

Polemical law review article I want to see: the triviality of crimpro as factor in US mass incarceration
-
Crimpro narrowly understood as law, not police & DA practice. Crimpro of course matters but how central?
-
remember also issue of racial disparities -- SCOTUS might have more influence there
-
Have they in the past in matters of crim justice, for good or for ill?
-
not crim pro, but reviving 8A proportionality, e.g. overruling Harmelin, would do real, if limited, good.
-
No doubt! But it would be a good thing for lawyers & lawprofs to see w cold clarity where those limits are
-
do you mean to tell me law profs have an inflated sense of their own importance in the world? Never!

Good. You have not drunken of the law school Flavor Aid. Sniff at it but don't drink it.
