Whether the time has come for this Court to exercise supervision over the ever-expanding prosecutorial practice of requiring defendants to give up their right to appeal, as the price of a negotiated plea, while the government retains its own access to judicial review; and whether this practice is violative of defendants' due process rights, against public policy, contrary to congressional intent, and inconsistently applied
