I think we should all be prepared for more judges to throw the book at
anyone who ends up before them in a court of law.

Not unlike the following quote from "Where the Buffalo Roam":

"Will the defendant please rise?
Any person who transports into this state,
sells, furnishes or gives away any marijuana
- shall be punished...
- What's he doing?
- He's reading the fucking law.
- ... five years to life...
I think you guys should listen.
His honour is reading the sentence."
