Hunter v. United States · ¶83

Without any source of law to justify its decision, the Court appears to rest on its policy concern that holding defendants to their waivers may sometimes lead to unfair results or make federal courts look bad. But, policy concerns are not rules of decision in courts of law. Because I would decide Hunter's case based on law rather than policy, I respectfully dissent.
