Supremes chisel away at Miranda. Again.

by Adam B

"To obtain a five vote majority, add a concurrence from [CTRL-V] Justice Thomas and Justice Scalia, who would have gone further than the other conservative justices. How much further?Overturning-a-cherished-Warren-Court-precedent further. Justices Scalia and Thomas would have overturned Griffin v California, the 1965 case which established that prosecutors cannot comment on a defendant's silence."
