The Judge Limited by Mandatory Penalty Rules
The text notes judges often must apply a standard penalty fixed by law, leaving little room to tailor sentences to individual circumstances. It contrasts potential outcomes of crime rehabilitation versus lifelong criminal paths, given rigid statutory limits on judicial discretion.

It contrasts Democratic candidates from small towns with past presidents who also hailed from rural beginnings, arguing grass roots shapes leadership and that a president need not come from wealth or elite schools.
