## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that Measure 11 did not repeal the sentencing guidelines by implication because they “can be harmonized to give effect to both”
- noting that the Supreme Court “has held that courts need specific statutory authority to impose a sentence of imprisonment”
- explaining that a prosecutor’s ability to charge crimes carrying a mandatory minimum sentence did not violate separation of powers principles
