It wasn’t Obama’s call. In fact I’m betting someone is trying to ‘splain it to him right now.
When the underwear bomber was arrested in Detroit..when he failed to blow up the plane...he wasn’t a US citizen, yet IIRC he was given Miranda rights..Obama has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Right ch'are! His handlers wanna' know if he has any proSaudi info that they can squash before they let their sock-puppet say anything. That's why our porcine and slightly overweight Mooch-elle visited the other muzzie in the hospital unannounced and unplanned.
First to get a payoff for letting the muzzie go, and then to line the Obambi pockets, and then to let the sock-puppet's handlers know what to write for the idiot to say on his teleprompter. All this while the goofus is playing golf.
Ain't it wonderful to have full-fledged enemies of the state swarming over our White House?
Note that the so-called Miranda right is not a constitutionally protected right, but a warning arguably legislated from the bench by good-intentioned justices.
Miranda warning
But as a consequence of their good intentions, the courts have inadvertently sent out contradictory signals evidenced by the Miranda warning courtesy on one hand, while arguing that ignorance of the law is no excuse on the other hand.
Imo, it's the responsibility of every citizen to know their constitutonal rights, the 5A right not to self-incriminate oneself in this example. Especially taking into consideration the seriousness of the crime, I would personally throw the Obama administration's rant that suspected bomber's "constitutional" (my word) right to be read the Miranda warning was violated out the window.
