So the Supreme court said you need to speak to stay silent. I.e., arrestees need to vocally invoke their Miranda right to stay silent.

This strikes me as... a bad thing. It could also be good, if used properly, but that's assuming there's no corruption in the police department and that there's education among the alleged criminals on their need to actually invoke their rights.

However, if an investigator is legally compelled (again, assuming s/he's not bending the rules) to back off and not interrogate a suspect because the suspect has said they aren't speaking, that could be an improvement of the suspects' rights.

*shrugs* That's my uneducated layperson's take on a blurb, anyway.


( Life )

And now I need to go tune Babe's ukulele and my guitar. Hopefully my guitar isn't too far out of tune... Tuning makes me queasy. *iz not a musician*

Crud

Smoke, grass pollen and added moisture in the air have all combined to give Babe a cough that's starting to sound nasty. I feel it a bit, myself. It's not quite asthma, but the precursor cough to it, ya know? That tight throat and chest feeling.

I'll have to be careful with both of us.

I am doing miserably on staying away from ice cream. However, after my third small bowl (one scoop in each bowlful), there's only enough left for Babe's dessert. So that's that. And then no. more. ice. cream. in. the. house.

*coughs*

Most definitely.


I really should do something. Like work or such. Or even paint.

Yep. I should.
