We are 100% the Soviet Union at this point. Probably have been, since the 1990's.
If questioned by police [FOR ANY REASON], you should immediately invoke both the right to keep silent and that all communications by the police must be made to your attorney.
Then, you clam up - totally. Answer NO questions AT ALL.
It does not matter whether you are considered a suspect or not. You keep your trap shut and let your mouthpiece do the talking.
Seems that, in the case here, the police are relying on the fact that the man was voluntarily talking and THEN clammed up.
“You have the right to remain silent...psych!!!”
The Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to strike down the Fifth Amendment.
That 5th Amendment is just so pesky!
WTF!!???
If the court rules in the affirmative to undermining Miranda then surely the burning and drowning of witches would be right and just.
WTF!!???
Forgot to mention the 5th amendment, which is the supreme argument and ultimate right, which is also inalienable and no one should be compelled to self incriminate.
You are the accuser and you must your case based on evidence.
If the Supreme Court does rule to undermine the 5th and Miranda, and if a defendent should speak on his behalf proclaiming his innocence, it would not be to far fetched to make the leap by prosecutors to proclaim a defendant is presenting his guilt by way of “He doth protest to much”, he must be guilty.
And of course the low-info public is too focused on King Obama’s inauguration to care about yet another possible erosion of the US Constitution.
And I guarantee you, that the kook fringe leftists who would be protesting in the streets over this, won’t utter a word about it now.
What happened to the Constitution? This is unbelievable.
