FERGUSON, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
While I concur in the opinion of this case, I write in order to restate my dissent in United States v. Cordova-Perez, 65 F.3d 1552 (9th Cir.1995).
I continue to believe that case was decided incorrectly and that an injustice was done. Yet the government insisted upon the result. Now it would like us to disregard Cordova-Perez, which of course would be a monumental disaster. The government cannot have it both ways. When it advocated the result in Cordova^-Perez, it must live with the mistake.
