Really? The right to remain silent is not in the Constitution?

Care to hedge a guess as to where this came from?

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

If you are going to just keep making up straw dog arguments by willfully ignoring what people are saying and making up your own posts for them, then why bother pinging us at all, why just post to yourself?

Yeah, "really."

You really should learn to read what is written, not what you think is written. Miranda is not in the Constitution . . . anywhere. It was a case before the Supreme Court of the United States . . . the Warren Court . . . the most activist Court in the last half of the twentieth century.

The rights are as you say, but the legal requirement that those rights must be read to you before you are questioned is an invented right.
