In the Booker decision, the justices ruled that the federal sentencing guidelines are advisory rather than mandatory. This means that while judges should consider the guidelines when determining sentences, they have the discretion to impose sentences outside of the guidelines based on the specifics of the case. This ruling aimed to restore greater judicial discretion and address concerns about the rigid application of the guidelines. Ultimately, it enhanced the balance between ensuring consistent sentencing and allowing for individualized justice.
