My reality check?

It bounced.

OK: Earthquake in the Midwest? Unseasonable snow in Seattle? Supreme Court justice renounces capital punishment?

Some days it's not worthwhile getting out of bed. Other days you wonder whether you actually did.

Oh, I'm not arguing that point. It's just that I literally zeroed in on the point that it was for a rape case that he was trying to get people to reconsider the matter. Had it been for another crime, it wouldn't have set me off.

A lot of crime committed against women traditionally gets swept under the carpet as a "personal problem" and often doesn't carry as great of a sentence.

Or so is my impression. This just looks like he's trying to move things in that direction, rather than being just one facet of an overarching philosophy.

Looked more like a general reconsideration to me, or at least a call for one. YMMV, of course.
