paaartay. same here. place to myself, going to a fire later though. rented transformers as a backup if the fire is boring.
What about in an interrogation?
It doesn't say "courtroom." It's implicit in "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." You can only be a witness against yourself in a criminal case in a courtroom. That's where criminal cases are tried.

Which is exactly all you've done; because your presentation is incorrect.
Prove your imaginary point and stop slobbering all over the thread.

sparring with you is fun sometimes. let us split some hairs.
implicit versus specific are not the same thing. i agree with implicit.

You have posted no facts that I am aware of. Ever.
Since he's dead, it looks like we saved the cost of the trial.
If it were your son, and you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was innocent, would you be so smug?

And what differentiates him from you? On what legal basis is killing him OK while killing you would be problematic?

nope. that is where exclusions or objections come in. and you don't get those, until you get into court. if you self incriminate outside of court during a custodial interrogation (let us hope it would be outside of court) and you were not read your rights, you asked for an attorney....and the interrogation continued, you could spill your beans about murdering 20 people and it could not be used against you in court.

Alongside Awlaki was another American citizen, Samir Khan, known as the editor of a Qaida magazine. There's been no word from the administration about who else was in the convoy and killed alongside Awlaki and Khan.
Anwar's father sought a federal injunction last year to prevent a targeted killing of his son, but he lost his court case. The Justice Department successfully argued that Nasser al-Awlaki didn't have adequate standing to sue on his son's behalf, and that state secrets would be revealed if the case went forward. The government essentially argued that targeting Anwar al-Awlaki was a political question, outside the realm of the courts...

Thanks, what I meant was, can one invoke the 5th ammendment in an interrogation?

it is implied, but not specific. all it says is "criminal case". that does not spell out that it only applies in courtrooms. can the cops keep you detained based upon self incrimination?

no. you can't invoke until you're on the stand in a criminal trial. it is inapplicable in civil trials.
edit: you don't actually have to be on the stand
