In a 5-4 ruling, the justices ruled that a person no longer has the right to remain silent as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. In relevant part, the Fifth Amendment mandates that no one “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” read more: http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/15787-supreme-court-bombshell-no-right-to-remain-silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 And so, it would seem, that what the Soviet Union wanted to do to the USA for over 60 years . . . we are doing to ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C+ You have to understand, most of the citizens in the US are clueless, and that is being nice. We now have in America a government that can detain you indefinitely without due process that was guaranteed under the Constitution via the NDAA signed into law by President Obama. Did Americans care during the 2012 elections? Nope. Maybe keeping the US educational system ranked 48th in the world is the key to keeping the populace oblivious. Then again, during the reign of FDR, innocent Japanese Americans were rounded up and thrown into prison. Maybe nothing has really changed.

I have the impression, from US colleagues, that this is getting more prevalent at your end - though recent experience, even on this site, shows me we can all be tempted with taking thie law into our own hands!
