How later courts describe this case
- concluding that sentences were not unconstitutional because indictments failed to specify that crack cocaine would be included in calculating base offense levels; crack was part of the same cocaine conspiracy charged in the counts of conviction
- holding that agency's stated objective should be upheld where reasonable
- challenging a guideline enhancement based on amounts of crack cocaine involved that were neither charged in the indictment nor proven at trial
- courts should not allow uncharged conduct to become “the tail that wags the dog of the substantive offense”
