Dems being Dems. Throw the book and do the banana republic routine with Bannon, Stone, Navarro, et al., but no extra time for child traffickers? Got it. Probably would have "disparate impact on aggrieved and oppressed groups."
But don't let me get any of you sidetracked from the real issues that affect real people, like Ukraine or January 6th truthseeking or the end of homosexual marriage.

(see linked article) you need to ask them why they do this. As difficult as it is to think rationally about this emotional issue, you need to understand why this happens...unless you're just interested in scoring political points...from the linked article...
---------------------
In 2017, Judge Ralph R. Erickson was confirmed by a 95-to-1 vote to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, with Mr. Cotton, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Graham voting in the affirmative. (Mr. Hawley was not yet a senator.) While serving as a district court judge in North Dakota, Judge Erickson imposed sentences shorter than the prosecutor’s recommendations in nine cases involving child sex abuse imagery from 2009 to 2017, averaging 19 percent lower.
In the case with the greatest discrepancy — in which a 68-year-old man pleaded guilty to possessing and transporting such illicit materials — prosecutors asked for 151 months and Judge Erickson imposed a 96-month sentence.

Once again...'It's complicated'...sorry, but you need to look past the headline to understand what's gong on.
btw, NO ONE condones child sex abuse...so don't go there.
