Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. Life has been pretty busy lately, so this one is taking quite a while to finish.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

"You Have the Right To Remain Innocent", by James Duane. He also has had a few very famous videos on YouTube, which can best be summed up as, "Under advice from counsel, I am invoking my fifth amendment right to remain silent. I want an attorney."

Just looked it up, looks interesting. Also just found out that using fifth amendment can be used as evidence against you, I thought that wasn't allowed.

IIRC, you need to actually assert that you are exercising your 5A rights; simply remaining silent is not sufficient.

But yeah, SCOTUS has really significantly weakened that amendment, in a very bad way.
