5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““This Court is, however, aware of no precedent, from the Supreme Court or elsewhere, for the proposition that due process requires that a defendant be informed of each and every right which is waived by a guilty plea * * *. Carrying [appellant’s] argument to its logical conclusion the court, before accepting a guilty plea, would be required to inform a defendant of his right to a speedy and public trial, his right to an impartial jury, his right to compulsory process for obtaining witnesses, his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, his right to have excluded from the trial any evidence illegally seized, and many more. We do not * * * feel that due process requires this.” McChesney v. Henderson, 482 F.2d 1101, 1110 (5th Cir. 1973), cert. denied 414 U.S. 1146 , 94 S.Ct. 901 , 39 L.Ed.2d 102 (1974).”
