In 2012, the Commission ripped the Guidelines for sex offenses under section 2G2.2 as too emperically flawed and scolded Congress to take action with a suggestion that the Commission could change the Guidelines under it’s own authority. Today, section 2G2.2 remains the same. So I’m sceptical that the Commission will do anything favorable to our cause.
