One difference between citizens is that naturalized citizens must take an oath.
I understand Althouse's point about uniform free speech for all citizens, but if a newly sworn citizen engages in seditious speech, isn't that pretty strong evidence he or she lied in making the oath?
The United States Oath of Allegiance (officially referred to as the "Oath of Allegiance," 8 C.F.R. Part 337 (2008)) is an oath that must be taken by all immigrants who wish to become United States citizens.
The current oath is as follows:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
I know you, Ann. You just want to be provocative. But that's ok, I'll watch anyway.
Pinkerton is very good natured. He chuckled more often on this one tape more than all your other Blogginheads opponents combined.
And Althouse did not have to do even one slight but noticeable eye-roll though she does it often vs. her typical Blogginheads liberal doofus.
the videos with you with a liberal -- but not ones that you run over -- are way more interesting....
... well, unless of course they put you with John McWhorter. that would be funny.
you seemed to be apologizing for you slightly left leaning positions. booh ! It must be that conservative lettuce that Meade is feeding you.
Does this mean we are at war with Islamists again?
I mean that's how Holder sounded to me.. full Bush mode.
I'm confused.. why is Obama retreating from his campaign promises?
As a practical matter, how would law enforcement officials avoid a "fruit of the poisonous tree" problem if intelligence information gathered from a suspect during pre-Miranda questioning then logically leads to information which would be helpful in covicting the suspect, but is gathered during his post-Miranda questioning? Isn't Miranda pretty binary that way -- you either read a suspect his rights upon arrest (and maybe he keeps talking anyway), or you run the risk that anything you find out can be kicked?
A right wing conspiracy theorist could fantasize that this whole affair was put up to divert attention from: (1) the massive fouling of the Gulf by BP while DHS was sleeping; (2) campaign finance needs making the Dems pull their punches in 'reforming' Wall Street; and (3) the potential for illegal immigration to turn out nativist voters for the GOP. As ide benefit is that it allows Holder to play the tough cop and hide his leftist instincts. Anyway, if the Dems lose big this November look for Napolitano to be the first cabinet member to resign in order to spend more time with her family. All the hot-button issues are on her watch.
Well, that was fun :)
The normal mode is for Althouse (Obama voter) to be the representative of the right.
It was interesting to have you on with somebody to your right.
I note that you get a better grade on summarizing the Hahvad case than Dean Minow.
I'm raking my brain here trying to think why Obama is backtracking and retreating on the promises he made and I cant come up with anything.
Whats changed?
This citizen didn't get his Miranda, Gitmo still open, we are fighting two wars, cell phones surveillance..
We need an Obama is weird tag ;)
WTF? They questioned him before Mirandizing him??
At this point, I wish they'd just make up their minds.
The photos changed! Much better. And by "better" I mean "goofier." Love it!
He's cooperating, he's cooperating, he's cooperating, he's cooperating, he's cooperating,
(thank God we don't have to waterboard, thank God we don't have to waterboard, thank God we don't have to waterboard, thank God we don't have to waterboard, thank God almighty we don't have to waterboard)
Why hasn't the SC nominee been named? What's taking so long?
What is Pinkerton talking about? Shahzad took the oath cited by EDH, maybe with his fingers behind his back. So what could have been done to preclude Shahzad's naturalization, absent (possibly) stronger work by the CIA in Pakistan?
When asked if he was a terrorist, it's really unlikely he answered, no, but I'd like to be.
Has Obama bungled the gulf oil spill? On purpose?
When you just add a question mark at the end, you can imply anything! You're just asking!
Isn't Miranda pretty binary that way -- you either read a suspect his rights upon arrest (and maybe he keeps talking anyway), or you run the risk that anything you find out can be kicked?
The Court has carved out a "public safety exception" (NY vs. Quarles, 1984) to Miranda that permits the police to gather evidence/ask questions that can be used in court even though Miranda rights were not read.
IOW, there's a middle ground between the two examples you cited.
"WTF? They questioned him before Mirandizing him??
Hey, at least they're not telling you what the verdict and punishment will be ahead of time anymore.
This past Sunday night I caught one of my favorite old time shows "Divinci's Inquest" which is an old series from Canada.
The episode was about a child molester who took a ladder and climbed in a window and kidnapper a four year old kid and took it out and raped and murdered her. Sort of like that case in California.
They couldn't use any evidence that they had because of some bull shit technicality even though it was certain that he did it and the smug and obnoxious lawyer demanded that they release him immediately. They also couldn't use his prior record as a juvie because it was sealed. So they had to let him go even though he definitely did it.
As they left from the back door of the police station, the grieving father shot him in the head. He only made one mistake.
He didn't shoot the lawyer too.
