Well don't be so ignorant as to continue to spout that you can force someone to do anything.

Cut your own keyboard tuffgy schtick slick and we'll get along just fine. I asked you a simple question and you start on this overblown legal analysis that hasn't to do squat with what I asked.

Can you FORCE me to testify.

You can't, end of story.

The ONLY thing you can do to ANYONE is punish them.

Maybe you should try reading what is said instead of going off half cocked. The statement was very simple

IT IS A CHOICE

Whether you choose to believe it or not is immaterial.

Oh! I see now! We're back to where we were at the very beginning!

You say something, and then it's our job to agree and then we are allowed by you to stop, there and then.

If we have anything more to say that's more complicated than your point, we should not post it for fear of upsetting you.

For instance, if I was to point out that there are different types of "choice" under the rule of law, and that committing armed larceny is "a choice," just like refusing one's duty to testify when legally 'compelled' is also "a choice," then that would not be allowed because you think it's an "overblown legal analysis."

Anything beyond your assertion that a judge or lawyer can't make words come out of the mouth of a witness is 'off limits.'

Keep digging, FRiend. I enjoy the spectacle.

Or as my gym teacher used to say, "I can't make you do anything. I can only make you wish you had."
