The 5th Amendment was always kind of silly anyway, right?
It was kinda a pain in the ass, really. Look, if you know something, we have a right to know it to. If we can waterboard you into a confession, won't the truth be better served?
America, I love this free country, rich in the tradition of honoring human rights. You now have a new right: The right to testify against yourself via a little 'motivating' waterboarding!
As Piers Morgan would ask (incessantly), “Why do you NEED to remain silent? No one who is innocent should NEED to remain silent.”
SIgh.
It’s not a Bill of Needs. It’s a Bill of Rights.
