KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I agree with Judge Reinhardt that the question presented by the bail application deserves consideration by the court en banc. Therefore, I join the first five paragraphs of his dissent.
Unlike Judge Reinhardt, I am not ceitain about the proper interpretation of the Mandatory Detention Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(2), or its “exceptional reasons” proviso, id. § 3145(c). The abbreviated briefing schedule, the absence of oral argument, the lack of time for research and reflection all make me hesitate to express a public view on this difficult issue.
