Re: GRRRR... The times square bomber
Terrorism is so 10 years ago. I'm bored. Hear that, terrorists? You're droll.
I do support giving any person under arrest their full rights. Not doing so not only spits on the constitution, it also increases the likelihood that good evidence can get tossed out. In this case, there were actually ~8hrs. of time between arrest and mirandizing. I feel that's too much, but at least it was done.
That said, it's kinda BS. Mirandizing is a bit silly. Who doesn't know that they have the right to not talk and have an attorney? I think it ought to include about 3-4 other statements, including a statement that the police are under no obligation to tell you the truth and are permitted to try to trick you with false threats.
John D, I'm surprised you support anchor babies. I mean, an Illegal makes a 5 ft hop across a national border and drops her baby and birthing fluids on Arizona soil and -- TA DA!!! -- it's an American. I think the policy is stupid. Send them both back, amniotic sack and all.
