• concluding that constitutional Booker error was harmless when sentencing court imposed maximum sentence and expressed intent to take defendant “out of society”
• holding that a guilty plea complies with Rule 11 where the district court ensures that these three “core prin- ciples” have been established
• stating that we review constitutional objections “not raised before the district court only for plain error”
• holding the district court committed plain error by failing to inform defendant of virtually all of the information in Rule 11(b)(1)
• holding that “a defendant who seeks reversal of his conviction after a guilty plea, on the ground that the district court committed plain error under Rule 11, must show a reasonable probability that, but for the error, he would not have entered the plea”
• explaining that review is for plain error when a defendant fails to file a motion to withdraw his guilty plea in the district court that raises the alleged errors in the plea proceedings
