You seem to have a reading comprehension problem.

Read #145

“You both seem to be confusing a criminal proceeding with a criminal matter.

While a matter can include a proceeding, when i said “matters” i meant activities.

Substitute “activity” for matter if that makes it clearer. The Fifth amendment applies to criminal activities, and yes, that extends to civil proceedings if it touches upon criminal activity.

But if the statement does not fall within one of the privileges i mentioned above, you can not claim such a privilege- it is inapplicable.”

I’m done arguing.
YOU were the one that said it did not apply in your #127
Take it up with the Supremes!

“One need not be a criminal to claim Fifth Amendment privilege, it applies to civil suits as well.”
Isaacs v. United States, 297 U.S. 1.

Have a good day!
I have better things to do than listen to you revamp and fine tune what you said.
