I plead the Fifth Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. “I plead the 5th” may the most quotable reference to the Bill of Rights, but it is much more than that, as you can plainly see. And please notice the exceptions few know exist: “in time of war or public danger.” Sandra Day O’Connor cast the deciding vote (Kelo) misinterpreting “public use” to include anything that would generate income for the govt. This could have long range effects as the world’s super rich buy up our infrastructure. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/24/scotus.property/ When replying to this message, plz cc [email protected] To be cont’d tomorrow.
