Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): to crimes with even greater precision than criminal legislation. See Baja-kajian, 524 U.S. at-, 118 S.Ct. at 2044 (Kennedy, J., dissenting) (noting that the purpose of the sentencing guidelines “is to select punishments with precise proportion”). Therefore, although we retain a duty under the Eighth Amendment independently to examine fines for excessiveness, a defendant would need to present a very compelling argument to persuade us to substitute our judgment for that of the United States Sentencing Commission. Thus, in a forfeiture action, if the value of the property forfeited is within or near the permissible range of fines under the sentencing guidelines, the forfeiture almost certainly is not excessive. See United States v. 427 & 429 Hall St, 74 F.3d 1165, 1172-73 (11th Cir.1996) (<HOLDING>); see also Bajakajian, 524 U.S. at-, 118 S.Ct.
