I disagree that it is irrelevant whether they read him his rights or not. It is a basic principle that guides law enforcement in their treatment of citizens that are arrested. Like it or not, Dzokhar Tsarnaev is a citizen of the United States. If he is not read his rights and is denied access to a lawyer, where does that leave you or me, as conservatives who have been declared a threat by the Obama administration, if hey decide we should be arrested? What if they decide we are a public safety danger and refuse to give us access to the rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution? That’s a slope I would rather stay away from.

The reading of the rights are just a policy that the goons follow when they arrest you.

It’s not really a big thing.

If he’s educated he knows what rights he has.

I could care less about the goon squad and their policies of whether they’re going to read rights or not.

Far more important to me as a suspect is whether they assert I can charged under Federal law (most of which is unconstitutional) or State law (most of which is fine)

All the dude has to say is “I want an attorney”.

The supposed "right" declared in Miranda appears nowhere in the Constitution, and conflicts directly with retained rights possessed by the States and by the People to be safe from criminal predation.
