“Fight for your Right”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_supreme_court_miranda
In separate rulings this year, The Supreme Court modified the famous Miranda rights read to suspects upon arrest, to better empower police in interrogations. Miranda’s lessened effectiveness is being blamed on Cynthia Nixon’s performance in Sex and the City 2.

Critics have been very vocal about suspects rights, to which the Court replied, ‘You have the right to remain silent.”

One of the rights read is, “If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” Take that, Mel Gibson.
