I think (I could be wrong) that lawfags point was that sentencing guidelines mean that the judge will only sentence based on the highest charge that was convicted and run the lesser sentences as concurrent so they don't actually do extra time for them.
The Constitution doesn't say that the accused shouldn't be sentenced twice for the same offense, it says he shouldn't even twice be at risk of receiving a sentence for the same offense.

The Constitution doesn't say that the accused shouldn't be sentenced twice for the same offense, it says he shouldn't even twice be **at risk** of receiving a sentence for the same offense.
