Isn’t he a US citizen?
Exactly. He doesn’t need any one to GIVE him his Rights. They are already his. He can invoke the 5th Ammendment or his Miranda Rights at any time - on his own.
Too much is being made of this NON-Issue
True, EXCEPT, [supposedly]he clammed right up after his rights were read.
Guess I would wonder why he was talking THEN decided to stop. If he knew enough to hush up after his rights were read, seems like he would know enough to not talk at all.
Awful lot about this entire case smells really bad....
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”
Of course, he lied to the infidels. No way he can be considered an American citizen. He is an enemy combatant. Who says a NBC can’t be an enemy combatant? And as has been said repeatedly, no citizen has to be read rights they already have. The judge and her minions didn’t waltz in to read his rights, they were there to give him some other message.
