To challenge the constitutionality of the statute to which he pled guilty. The question here is whether that right is nonetheless forfeited solely by operation of the p itself. As judge bradley summarized this courts [inaudible] a defendant who pleads guilty can challenge his conviction on any constitutional grounds that if asserted before trial were forever preclude the state from obtaining a valid conviction against him. Petitioners claim here is that the Second Amendment and due process clause precludes the government from obtaining a valid conviction against him. It bodes well within the scope of the [inaudible] doctrine. The governments main contention is that petitioner was required to preserve his claim through a conditional plea but as the drafters of rule 1182 noted in the advisory notes to that rule the Supreme Court has held that certain kinds of constitutional objections may be raised after a period of guilty rule 1182 has no application to such situations and should not be interpreted as either broadening or narrowing the [inaudible] doctrine or establishing procedures for the application. I should know this but i dont. Can the government specify that those claims are waived and would you spell it out that youre waving double jeopardy. Yes, your honor. They are both waivable. Our contention here is not that these claims cannot be waived. Our contention here as they were not explicitly waived in the plea agreement and they were not otherwise forfeited by operation of the p itself. I think it is useful to take a step back and look at the categories of right when a defendant pleads guilty. First are the trial rights. The defendant was pleading guilty is affirmatively waiting those rights by saying they will not go to trial they are waiting at the protections in the very right to trial and posttrial rates themselves. The second class of rights that are at stake are the procedural and evidentiary rights that would go to the reliability of the defendants conviction. For example, Fourth Amendment rights against search and seizure are 25th amendment rights against. Those rights need not be affirmatively waived but are effectively foreclosed by the plea of guilty because once a defendant pleads guilty we are no longer worried for example about whether the evidence against him which were properly obtained. The third category of rights which are the rights that are here are those which where the defendant is saying that the government cannot obtain a valid against me regardless of the procedures that are used, regardless of evidence that is amassed. Another situation which we ask whether a defendant is asserting the right not to be tried is in determining whether there is a right to an inter locking appeal. Would you say that if a right is one that can be protected through an interlocking tori appeal [inaudible] . The double jeopardy right desperate. That is one that can be appealed. But we believe the category is broader than that. For example, the vindictiveness claim cannot be appealed through [inaudible] appeal. What about a speech or debate clause claim for spark that permits an appeal. If a member of congress is charged with a crime and hes guilty that member of congress may then argue on appeal that the prosecution was blocked by the speech or to because. Is the speech or debate clause would forever preclude the government from obtaining a conviction against him, yes. But it would not require that the defendant to otherwise contradict the admissions that he makes in pleading guilty. That is the other important limitation on this right. Would that not be the same for the statute of limitations for spark i think the statute of limitations would be come in 11a if you dont raise it, you cant raise it later. Even though you are saying the statute of limitations iran before i was charged with the scribe so i shouldnt be subjected with prosecution. Yes, your honor. Its hard to conceive of a statute of limitations that would not require the defendant to contradict the omissions and the factual admission that he makes in pleading guilty so we think of those would likely be contest with in the line of cases that are effectively foreclosed by the plea of guil guilty. Unconstitutional conviction of a grand jury. That is exactly the case where the court held that was in fact foreclosed by the guilty plea so just like that category of rights or category of procedural and evidentiary protections of the defendant would otherwise be entitled to if he went to trial but in fact are foreclosed once the defendant pleads guilty. The [inaudible] category is an entirely separate category where the defendant is saying regardless of the procedures that are used and regardless of the evidence that is amassed i cannot be validly convicted of this crime. So your definition of what this doctrine withhold is you are saying that if its the constitutional violation is not clear on the face of the admission gastric. Thats right. If the constitutional violation is not clear on the face of the record that is what the Supreme Court used it in Justice Kennedys opinion where the court said that category of rights is where the formulation is where the court has no power to impose and to enter the conviction or lets go to the standard charge which would be crimes committed on 1991. Substantive crime and continuing conspiracy crime. The defendant pleads guilty and says yes i did the substantive crime in 91 and participated in the conspiracy. That is all he or she said. Why would not this be subject to the blackledge line of cases . Or would it be . Im sorry your honor. Would they be saying that it was unconstitutional on appeal question. Yes, a statute of limitatio limitations. Oh because your honor i think the defendant would have in making the plea had to admit certain backs that the defendant would then have to be contradict drain on appeal. We are expecting limitations that it has to be on the record as a time of pleading guilty. The defendant would be coming back and say no, actually those are not the facts and in fact there was a continuing conspiracy what about the substantive crime, the charges in 2017 but the indictment was in 2017 but the chart substantive charge was in 1991 with a five year statute of limitations. Does that defendant come back and say yes, i did the crime then your honor, i think that is conceivable but the blackledge line of cases has generally been held to be constitutional limitations on the ability to secure conviction. Was about constitutional limitations and [inaudible] all that we are arguing for is the constitutionality of the statute of conviction which we think falls within the blackledge doctrine. So the state your rule and its limitations again. One, it has to be clear on the face of the complaint that is constitutional constitutional and goes to the very power of the government obtaining a valid conviction against the defendant. The other formulation the judge friendly use of plea of guilty operates as a forfeiture [inaudible] what about the sufficiency of an indictment fall under that approach. You have a crime, the elements are one, two, three and four but for is left out in the defendant pleads guilty to the crime and to the [inaudible] admits to one, two and three but doesnt admit to four cousin was left out. Is that something that can be raised on appeal or is that covered by his plea . Because the defendant is pleading to a substantive crime that the defendant would not be able to raise that on appeal because the defendant is saying in fact, i did this substantive crime so i met these elements of this crime as defined by the legislator so the defendant would then be trying to come back on appeal in contradict the admission that he made in pleading guilty and that would not be permissible under the brady category of cases. The blackledge line of cases is distinct and follows in many ways the line that the support has drawn in its richer activity jurisprudence of the line between substantive and procedural rules. To be clear, suppose the state passes the statute that the guilty plea ways any later rights to challenge the constitutionality of the state and the federal seasonality of the state and the defendant is fully advised of this and enters the plea. Later there is a serious contention that the statute is constitutionally invalid. Made the defendant challenge it under direct appeal . Know your honor. We are not claiming this is a constitutional rule finding so that defendant is are we just talking about the meaning of rule 11 for spark what is the basis for the substantive basis for your argument even if it is not constitutional. Its not only the best indication of rule 11 but it is also that we have to take a step back for a moment and look at what each party is coming to a plea bargain with ex ante. The defendant comes with certain statutory rights which also a right to directly appeal his conviction. That belongs with him unless it is affirmatively waived for close. Here we know the government concedes it is not affirmatively waived in his written plea agreement so we have to see whether its foreclosed. We look to rule 11 in rule 11 says no, where you have a black list ledge claim you dont have to [inaudible] as the government does not dispute that there is an exception to rule 11 in the blackledge doctrine they dispute only whether the constitutional challenge to the statue of convictions falls within the exception. I think there are times to distinguish blackledge fall short because they cannot explain blackledge themselves and they cannot explain the other relevant residences and its unworkable. I will quote the words. Of plea and conviction under it apprehends all factual and legal elements necessary to sustain a binding final judgment. Yes, your honor. If they read through to the end of that paragraph the court will see there are exceptions where on the face of the record the court has no power to enter the conviction. We agree that the defendants plea does indeed encounter the legal elements to sustain the conviction to say yes, i committed this crime as defined by the legislator and as the court recognizes which comes after the passage of rule 11 there are exceptions where on the face of the record court had no power to enter the conviction. There is no power that there. If the state would have the power your honor, mistake a path a lot saying that the guilty could pass the leader for a challenge. So were simply saying it was not waived here. So youre saying the government has no power to impose the sentence . Why is that if there is no constitutional prohibition against it . It construed somewhat more broadly, the defendants claim. Excuse me for interrupting your scene in the federal system there is no power to do this. I dont understand why is it limited and if not i see problems of it. In the federal system the federal system recognize the system, its a forfeiture rule. What does the guilty plea actually do. Hear what the court has said is a guilty plea does. But that circular youre saying theres no power into it. How do you determine that there is no power . If i can go back again to the judges formulation, it is where clay can be precluded to where they can have a valid power against them. Youre saying of course the federal government has the power to insist that you no longer can raise the constitutional claim. All they have to do is right into the plea agreement. I forfeit my right to bring a constitutional claim. I assume henceforth after this got away they will write that. Into every claim and every agreement. And then the person will not be able to bring his constitutional claim. Rather, your point is that here they did not write those words. All they wrote were the words i plead guilty. So do those words have the same effect as if they had exercised their undoubted powder to stop the individual from raising the claim by writing it out specifically, is that right . Thats correct. Is the question what does the defendant implicitly concede. The defendant does not implicitly concede that my conviction its not marred by double jeopardy for example. But you could understand the plea to implicitly concede i am guilty of the offense for which i am charged. That would include facts and law as set out in the case we were discussing. If thats a proper understanding of blackledge, where does your case stand . The defendant is saying im guilty of the defense is charged. But, the constitution precludes my conviction because of the double jeopardy clause and because of here the Second Amendment to process clause. That is the category. So, its on the face of the record the court had the formulation and gross that no power could impose a sentence. So with things not curable. No power only because it was not expressed that way. Its just how this plea agreement is properly a were talking about a forfeiture rule. Here they concede that the plea agreement does not explicitly waived the defendants right to appeal his conviction the only question is by operation of the plea itself and they would say no there is a category with cases that are not waived. This does not seem to be very helpful for the reason i pointed out. If it can be waived in theres power to do it. It has to be reformulated in another way. So where the formulation of that valley conviction against him. Where the claim is is that if this is basically what is reserved. The intolerant line of cases say you do not have to waive everything, you can actually concede something. Thats the First Amendment or fifth amendment. But you can still reserve after a plea of guilty a class of claims that would go to whether the constitution would bar your conviction. Can you tell me if your theory is different than are the same does the following theory. One way to look at this is to say a plea substitutes a trial in a verdict at that trial. So the line we should be drying is that any issue that wouldve been decided at trial is foreclosed unless there has been an illicit statement in the plea gate agreement. Any other is not for close, is that the right line or you trying a different line and if so, why. I think that is genuinely the line. What a defendant might at trial race emotion to dismiss their indictments on constitutional grounds and lose that motion and then try to renew it on appeal. What the defendant is doing is just like the defendant with the courts decision moved to dismiss the indictment on constitutional ground and then play guilty. Then trying to renew the constitutional challenge on appeal. I dont understand your answer to that. A conviction after trial permits if a defendant is convicted after trial they can raise on appeal any issue that was preserved. Thats right, but i took the question to be, is this about the procedural and evidentiary rules he wouldve had to overcome at trial, the contention that your confession was coerced and things like that that would be decided at trial when the evidence is coming in against you. Those are part for close. But things beyond what is decided at trial are independent of any evidentiary ruling that is made. So youre saying that this is congruent with the rule. Bell, were not contending you dont have to preserve this issue. The defendant here actual preserved his objection by raising a motion to dismiss. If he had it would there be a different result . I think there would be plain error on appeal. What about a question of statutory interpretation . The statute cannot be interpreted to cover my conduct. In the lower courts this has largely been limited to constitutional challenge to statutes. Under vie your view why shoud there be a difference . Theres no power to impose a conviction because it doesnt cover the conduct. What is the rule that you propose to adopt in that case . I think it could be encompassed in the doctrine. However as indicated earlier you may well also say that its also about constitutional bars on the conviction in the situation that your honor is raising the constitutional bars one step removed. So in the case we have here the defendant is saying a constitutional provision prohibits my conviction. There is one step removed weather is saying ive been convicted of something. Not to say that congress could not make it a crime but they have not made it a crime. In our situation were saying that congress cannot criminalize this behavior as the formulation beyond the criminal law making. I guess im confused by that reply. Why would it be that you would implicitly waive statutory but not constitutional claims by your guilty plea . You said we could go either way but i think the premise underlying response is that the guilty plea waves the trial. It doesnt necessarily waive other claims outside of trial and this might be one. The statue could be interpreted differently. The courtney not decide that today. But the court could limit it consistent with the doctrine. How would that work . The constitution is the primary bar to prescribe criminal conduct. Thank you counsel. Thank you. May i approach the court. This requires the defendant who both wants to plead guilty and wants to preserve a challenge to the statute underlined the church to enter a plea. How can the federal rules want to the constitution they were constitutional rules, so can rule 11c on do those . First of all they just conceded that they are not constitutional rules. So the federal rules could overwrite them. Second,. The rule say we are not affecting that doctrine. I think i can try to cut through by looking through this for the lens. Were not trying to do that in a vacuum but its reflected in the rules. What the drafters to and its in the advisory notes, i think they were a little confused over not quite sure what to make of on. Their respective of what it could of done and instructed that the rule cannot be interpreted in the situation with those cases which they described in some specificity. But i dont think they believe that for the tip of the iceberg which would in theory allow every criminal defendant in the system to plead guilty theres over 50000 nature teresa challenge to their conviction without having notified the government or the courts of their intense to do so. Its hard to say the floodgate is open when its in the power of the u. S. Attorney to write this into the plea agreement. If the court were to say that in its opinion to make that clear think it would go a long way toward resolving problems that that it would otherwise create. Let me say a few things, under current law we have some difficulties with appeal waivers. Some judges believe the have discretion not to accept a plea agreement that includes an appeal waiver so we can get those in those districts. Several courts of appeals have had appeals to appeal waivers and some that apply the statute under which its convicted. We cannot get it enforced in those circuits. Even circuits that would dismiss the appeal require the government to brief on the merit. We dont actually get the practical benefit of the waiver. All you are saying is how much power you have and how much power to coerce you have. The other side is simply saying if a defendant wants to accept your power, let him do so expressly. You can worry about what courts are doing separately thats not bind him or her to the whim of whether you will let them play guilty based on an appeal what waiver that so broad they cant challenge anything as a constitutional violation. Will the considerations took into account the policy process that did that rule. They produce a rule that applies to claims in this case and all claims the defendant might want to bring for pleading guilty. The proper way to preserve those claims was to make clear to the Government Court ahead of time that was going to be something reserved. Clear to the defendant what he is given up and in this case, the court you can appeal a conviction after guilty plea if you believe the guilty plea was somehow unlawful and the defendant expressed some uncertainty about what that meant. But isnt that exactly what theyre doing . I believe the guilty plea was unlawful because the statute under which i was charged is constitutionally flawed. It cannot be a crime. Will tears bonds to that. If you read the remainder of the sentence which is on joint dependent 63 the court says if you believe your plea was unlawful, or involuntary or some other fundamental defect is properly understood to go to the procedural claims everyone understands you can bring after guilty plea such as not knowing the intelligence. Again the court tells the defendant that the plea agreement precludes him from challenging the conviction on appeal which is incorrect. If he thought he wanted to bring the appeal he may have spoken up at that point. But this court has make clear any number of times the defendant need not be aware of everything hes given up in a plea in order for the plea to be an intelligent waiver of those rights. Isnt the broader point also that this is not presented on the question that let me put a face to this as strongly for the other side. There are two people who play guilty to violating virginias statute. Fled guilty. Didnt reserve anything out. Yet, that plea did not block them from seeking to vacate the conviction on the ground that the statute under which they were convicted were unconstitutional. So the court didnt notice that they were play guilty and shouldnt raise the constitutional question . That came up with the state courts. I think the court has been clear that states can do their own procedures and clearly no one raised it in whatever state procedures they had apparently did not preclude. But this is a case for this point, notwithstanding state procedures that said it was this court that said they could raise the question of the unconstitutionality of the statute. Not a state one. I dont believe this preclusion with question was directly addressed in the circumstances. Let me explain what happen if they came up to the federal system under the rule today. First of all they could seek to enter a conditional plea the government frequently does agree to it though other offices have other policies. If they did agree to a conditional plea they could have a stipulated bench trial that yes they married to each other but they were preserve every possible claim they could after try. So the judges use that to deny a an acceptance of responsibility. That address the commentary and it says that a judge may give the acceptance of responsibility reduction to a defendant who assist on the trial solely for the purpose of the challenge. It is discretionary. We know many offices routinely tell judges that if a defendant seeks to preserve an appeal right they have not accepted responsibility. Many judges just like many will not accept the appeal for that reason they dont accept the responsibility. The points that your racing are best considered about the produce rule 11 a two. If are going to decide that therell be an exception to that rule. Can i look at the basic argument. What rule 11 does it says here the conditions under which you can under conditional guilty plea. You have to get some consent it doesnt say what happens if you dont do that. Theres nothing in rule 11 that says the consequence of not entering a guilty plea as a text, why, and see. So you have to look outside the rule. It seems to me the place you look in the question you ask is whats the inherent effect of that guilty plea. Rule 11 just tells you go try to figure out what the inherent effect is in whats covered by it. So i dont see how thats the answer to this question. It just sets up the problem. I think a petitioner hasnt contested. The first place i would like as the Advisory Committee notes which make clear that its enacted the unconditional plea of guilty operates as a waiver of non judged jurisdictional claims. Theres no dispute. The key word is stockton. It would suggest to me theres more covered by that than just not sure thats right. The drafters of the row work quite well aware of the issue before the court but it says something they did not actually identify as an exception. Think they took them as they werent do not want to interfere with the work this court was doing. I dont think there is reason to believe that they silently intended to create another exception. There is a logic, i will assume it was you that if the government wants to make the defendant waived his constitutional claims they simply write into the plea agreement. Maybe you cant, but there might be an thats a different case. Ill assume that you could do that. And here somehow you forgot to do it. In a lot of cases you dont but here you forgot. Then we have to face the problem with weather by saying guilty thats wavered. I thought having looked at it the rule simply this. When you say guilty you have admitted you did with the statute for bids. So lets look at the statue. And you admit you did it. That means youre waving the claims that the evidence wasnt good enough they shouldve excluded something under the fifth amendment theres a lot of things. Naturally you agree you did with the statue for bids. But what you havent admitted that the statute for example is a valid statue. You have admitted that. Another thing you havent admitted is prosecution because i did it, i did it, but theyre prosecuting me for a bad reason and they cant do that. Thats vindictive. Two, you didnt admit double jeopardy. But you cant prosecute me because he did once before. I did it, did it but you cant take away because we claim its unconstitutional because my guilty plea has nothing to do that. When we fall into that category, the guilty plea by itself doesnt waive the claim. Now, ill have to say is your honor, let me respond in a couple ways. And this goes to justice kagans rule the rule doesnt take into account failures in the indictment. Failure in the indictment you cannot bring up later because what you have admitted to is you did with the statute for bids. It does more than that. For example its clear that you cant challenge the composition of the grand jury but if you to trial youd have the right for the. When you say you did it, you are admitting that you did what the statute for bids and they can convict you for it. You admit that you did with the statute for bids. You cant challenge the composition of a grand jury or any of the stuff that would take away they did the things that the statute for bids. The grand jury is somewhat unrelated to the statue of guilt. Let me add a few more points. You are admitting that you can be convicted for. In the it was clear and it admits legal guilt of factual guilt. That cant be right. If youre admitting it they can convict you put you in prison for. Because they admitted that they did what the statue for bids. But still they could claim its double jeopardy or vindictive prosecution. Let me give you one more rebuttal. The courts with what we have this case is brady against the United States which was a challenge to the act of the legislator not inactive bring in the legislation. He had a statute where defendant was only exposed to the Death Penalty if the jury was exposed to it. The court held that once a defendant pleads guilty he cannot claim that his conviction is invalid because of a structural defect in that statue. That being unconstitutional burden of a jury trial. I look at history to start with. Just as harlan and haynes suggested otherwise that you could challenge the constitutionality of the statute and he decided the Second Circuit case. Goes back to 1869. And Justice Haynes in massachusetts indicating almost exactly what he channeled there. And youre admitting to whats in the indictment. Isnt that maybe the most natural and historically consistent understanding of what a guilty plea is. I plead guilty to that of which im charged. Your honor, i asked the police theres an aspect of it that admits the court can convict you and impose punishment. What i do about this 150 years of history . That would be a better argument if this came before the court in 1982 before the rule of old 11 a two. Will putting that aside as i have some difficulties with that understanding what a guilty plea means. I dont think haynes reflects this courts consideration of what a guilty plea means. First of all because it was on connected. So he didnt mean what he wrote. Neither party had briefed it. The most it stands for the proposition is not a jurisdictional rule more like a mandatory claims processing rule. If the government doesnt raise it than the defendant can proceed to bring the claim. But a guilty plea inherently acquiesces to judgment and conviction been entered against you because thats directly what a court does following a guilty plea. But if ive plead guilty im admitting to the facts and it would follow that a court could enter this but i dont necessarily understand how that would preclude it. I go back to the statement but more recently that a guilty plea encompasses all of the factual and legal necessary for the imposition of a sentence. It just means that he admits all the elements of the crime are established. Not that the crime then becomes insulated from the constitution of the challenge. Let me give a real concrete example of why the rule would be quite impractical. Consider a circumstance in which the government looks at child pornography. During those proceedings the defendant engages in witness tampering. The plea agreement the defendant agrees that they agree to the child pornography charges. No mention is made of any effort from the defendant that he wants to reserve the right to appeal. Then he turns around and challenges the constitutionality sam First Amendment grounds so unless the court is going to make clear that appeal waivers will be enforceable they have already lost the benefit of the plea agreement. Depending on how the plea agreements go and if they lose its not clear that they could reinstate the witness changes. You have created a case where you have special circumstances and under those you want to argue that might be the equivalent of you havent written into the plea agreement and i promise i will not bring a constitutional claim either. Youre saying the reason is because otherwise we have the benefit of our dropping the witness tampering charge. Okay. I got it but this is not some special circumstance. This is an ordinary case should we read that nonexistent and i promise not to bring constitutional claims into this opinion and i will let you speak, i promise. I want to hear from Justice Gorsuch an i think were all put in the same kind of objection, i want to be sure i hear your answer to that whole range. I did not invent that case, thats this case. We dropped a failure to appear charge. But let me address the why this should be the default rule. One, theres a serious information and balance. Only the defendant knows what kind of claims he might want to bring after guilty plea and what he does and intended to be final. The defendant raced 36 claims in the District Court as he had every right to do. But the government District Court cant guess what claims they will be. I think he couldnt make this claim unless he made in the District Court. The Second Amendment claims he mentioned was Second Amendment of the District Court. That has gotten much more focus on the appeal to the point that might have been useful to be answered in District Court to submit an evidence. He said i have met all the facts that i was charged with but you cant prosecute me because i have a Second Amendment right to bear arms. He raised the Second Amendment and is now challenging whether the statute he was convicted was constitutional as applied. It wasnt even clear in District Court. Some of the arguments he makes on appeal and protecting the Capitol Grounds we couldve submitted evidence on. s is a suggestion the government lacks sufficient Bargaining Power in the plea process. No, but in this particular incidents the only person who knows the contours of this particular aspect of the plea agreement or what the defendant intends the plea to be. Thats not accurate. He may not know. He enters a plea agreement and the next day this court issues a decision saying that statute is unconstitutional. You would still hold him to the plea agreement. He didnt know he was given up that claim. He would get relief very easily under that in a postconviction notion. And a bunch of Different Cases with bailey being one of them, the government relies on plea waivers and most circuits has thrown out those cases. We would not seek to enforce and im not aware of course enforcing waivers or collateral relief waivers where the court has held the statute to be unconstitutional. You have, i have examples of that. Maybe not you personally but im talking about u. S. Attorneys across the country have and the courts set on the basis of plea waivers not applied. There are particular cases with facts for example theres currently litigation about the effect of this court and johnson in the United States. In some cases weve resisted the application of particular defendants because we dont think theyre making johnson claims. The making claims that are statutory and barred. And we been somewhat successful. But the second reason its a good default rule it does what its supposed to do in that it reflects the it expected an efficient result that i think the parties would expect. Very few defendants have constitutional challenges to have a reasonable aspect of appeal. Its not going to matter to most defendants and if the defendant believes he is the rare case in which thats what he wants to preserve his only person who could potentially know it. How the rule youre espousing fits with the language you we have used. When i look at those cases the language we use seems seems totally consistence with the fear that the others raised and not consistent with yours. So when theyre looking at whats not precluded by a guilty plea for you have a right not to be held into court at all they say the state cannot constitutionally prosecute and where the court had no power to enter the conviction. So, in all three of those cases the language used is where in the end you find youve done the facts, you satisfied the elements but still the state cant prosecute you constitutionally or properly. And thats what fits with Justice Gorsuch an Justice Breyers theory. First of all, i think as a colloquy it does not produce a clear rule. In a clear rule is important in the circumstances i dont even think the author of blackledge views his up opinion that way. And third, i dont think anything this court said reflects that there the tip of the iceberg. They are the loud points by all sorts of dependence. You had the court outside plea procedures asking if theres any recourse for defendants those who wanted to plead guilty or preserve a claim that he was charged with primary conduct for which she had already been charged and convicted. The Court Allowed the defendant to do that but as the brady example illustrates legislative claims are looked at differently. I think i heard opposing counsel say that under their rule they interpret this in the contours are not clear and i would caution that we need clear rules. The air has to be clear on the face of the indictment. The court looks at that it will not find anything that relates to has applied the Second Amendment challenge. The claim simply says the petitioner possessed a weapon or sign Capitol Grounds of the nature of the claim is it relates to where the defendant was what he saw and that sort of thing. I dont understand how that could be preserved under their rule. I think under their role the government would win the case. I think you saying that those on the grounds is unconstitutional his theory why is it as a played. Hes claiming that it was a law buyin lawabiding citizen. He was in the parking lot. If you look at the court of appeals brief brief he makes a lot of where he was in the weapon is only in his car. I want to make one more point about appeal waivers. I would not want to sit down without informing the court that 25 of the pleas of the federal system dont even involve plea agreements. When a defendant enters a plea without an agreement in the court has every expectation that ends the case, the defendant should not silently reserve a challenge that the defendant what you mean openplay . Its a plea without a plea agreement. So he pleads guilty himself he gets acceptance of responsibility points for that in those circumstances the government and the court believe that the case is over as long as its a volunteer. Why . Thats in the nature of the plea. The nature of the plea shouldnt be that you forestall rights because you pled guilty, thats what your position is today. You dont lose all rights, if the defendant does not believe that a case is ended by his plea its incumbent upon him to tell the District Court that thats what he means when he pleads. Thank you counsel. Thank you your honor. Ill begin with one of the last points which is whether there must be clear in the face of the indictment. In fact it must be clear on the case of the record. Thats clear from this courts opinion. Then quickly the rule they claim that the government is making about the drafters of rule 11 as chief justice pointed out these the term doctrine. The courtney look no further than the judges opinion which is contemporaneous with the amendments to rule 11 to look to the definition of that doctrine. Its also explained in the sources cited in rule 11 advisory notes. That was understood at the time to include constitutional challenges to the statue of conviction as it was enacted as pointed out where the court thinks its so obvious it put it in a footnote that of courts and defendants guilty clean plea did not. [inaudible] i want to point out that the colloquy cannot waive the defendants rights because first of all it is a thirdparty that the defendant would be contracting with when theres no appeal waiver in his plea agreement. In the plea agreement itself has an integration clause which says it comprises the totality between the government finally about the balance of the government not getting the information it needs and pleading guilty, as this court has recognized it takes practicalities into account. Theres any imbalance is on the defendant. He enters the plea bargaining process with certain rights. One is a statutory right to appeal. The government wants to waive that right they should ask for a waiver of that right in its plea agreement. Thank you. The case is submitted.
