How could it if they have to have their rights read to them first? They have no rights as terrorists.

Speaking concerning the court ruling you mention here.

Do I not have the right to remain silent?
Do I not have the right to an attorney?
etc

So you feel it is "bad law" to ensure that we are informed of our rights?

What rights abuses led to the court case?

Who cares about his record....
Who cares about his qualifications...
Who cares about experience...
Who cares about his socialist leanings...

Shoot, they just wanted to vote the first African American as President.

Thanks, morons. Do me and others a favor ... don't ever vote again. The ignorance of voters on the issues is and will continue to cause this country to pay dearly.

Tell us how you really feel, n david!

Is it time for me to mention Romans 13 again?

Nah. Didn't think so.

Oh... my bad.

I wasn't aware they were terrorists until proven otherwise.

LOL! Digging! War is not the same thing as robbing a grocery store. LOL! Foreigners just simply should not have the same legal rights as an American.

What other rights should the police inform you of before questioning you? Should they tell you you have a right to free speech? the right to bear arms? You do have that right the issue in Miranda was, "Does the police practice of interrogating individuals without notifiying them of their right to counsel and their protection against self-incrimination violate the Fifth Amendment?"

4 of the 5 Justices said, "no" I agree with the dissenters.

LoL ... sorry, got a little carried away there.

You know, there were a few talk/tv shows that made a joke of it through the so-called "man on the street interviews" - Howard Stern and Letterman were a couple ... but people were truly ignorant of what the issues were. They had no clue, they were simply voting to make history.

Incredible. With so much at stake ... and people are voting based solely on race and making history?

Unfortunately, they're making history, just not the history I'm sure they'll be proud of.

"I believe the decision of the Court represents poor constitutional law and entails harmful consequences for the country at large. How serious these consequences may prove to be only time can tell. But the basic flaws in the Court's justification seem to me readily apparent now once all sides of the problem are considered." From Justice Harlan's dissent in Miranda...Prophetic?

That would be 4 of the 9... and the dissenters were in the minority so it is the law of the land.

And... no... they shouldn't inform you of your right to vote... your right to bear arms... your right a homestead exemption... or any other right not related to the current arrest that is being undertaken at that moment.

At the moment of arrest the relevant rights are that you do not have to say anything that might incriminate yourself and you have a right to legal counsel. Those are the pertinent rights at that moment in time.
