139. And you wonder why Pres. Obama has not nominated liberals to the bench?
After Miranda, Congress tried to do away with the need to read Miranda rights by passing a law. The SCOTUS overruled Congress's attempt.

Would the Roberts Court do the same? I doubt it.


"I suspect you of being a terrorist, Lord only knows why, but I do. Zap. Your rights as a citizen are gone. But, don't grieve too much. They had already been whittled down a lot by Bushco and Obamaco. And Americans let them. So, losing your rights as a citizen sounds a lot worse than it is. You already lost many of those years ago."


Buh bye, America. You were great while it lasted. I loved you. I really loved you.
