"Van Chester Thompkins was considered a suspect in a fatal shooting on January 10, 2000 in Southfield, Michigan. After advising Thompkins of his Miranda rights, police officers interrogated him. Thompkins did not state at any time that he wanted to rely on his right to remain silent, nor that he did not want to talk to the police, nor that he wanted an attorney. The court record suggested that he had been almost completely silent during the 3-hour interrogation and the few sporadic comments he made had no bearing on the case[3] (police described it as "nearly a monologue"[4]), but near the end, detectives changed their approach and "tried a spiritual tac[k]" [5] and an "appeal to his conscience and religious beliefs".[6] Thompkins was asked in sequence - did he believe in God, did he pray to God, and did he pray to God to forgive him for shooting the victim. He answered "yes" to each of these.[1][2] Thompkins made a motion to suppress his statements, claiming that he had invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, that he had not waived that right, and that his inculpatory statements were involuntary. The trial court denied his motion and Thompkins was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Of note, there had been significant other evidence of guilt corroborating the conviction.[7]"

I know of nothing in the Bill of Rights that requires cops to stop interrogating the guilty when the guilty don't tell them to stop and send in a criminal defense attorney.   It is fair and reasonable that people tell the police they will not make any statements until they have seen an attorney.

Citizens United is a great example of the Democrats stripping us of our rights. Citizens United was a non-profit corporation set up by citizens to express their viewpoint.

"In the wake of these decisions allowing the promotion of the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 during the 2004 campaign, Citizens United sought to run television commercials during the 2008 campaign promoting its political documentary Hillary: The Movie, which is critical of then-Senator Hillary Clinton, and to air the movie on DirecTV.[8] In January 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the commercials violated provisions in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (McCain

What bluff? 

You mean, if they sit it out?  Wait them out longer.

You mean something else? Please explain.

>>And budgets require... the President, majority of the House, and 60 votes in the Senate to pass!  The GOP tried to assert its ideal funding already with the budget debates, despite having only a majority in the House... to no avail.  Regardless, you still need this crazy thing called a democratic majority... something TheYell doesn't seem to like when it doesn't fit his motives.<<

Wrong.

The House had the power to refuse to pass ANY budget except the one it likes.  Nobody else can even start with a budget.  If the Senate votes it down or refuses to vote they can change a , to a ; and send it back as a different bill.  They shoulda done that forever til global markets forced the Senate and Obama to cave on it.

It was the HOUSE, not the SENATE, who has the leverage in funding bills.  And they caved.  Boehner went behind closed doors, came out with a surrender, and ordered all good loyal Republicans to and i quote the man here "GET YOUR ASS IN LINE" and they did.  It happens every time and it's pathetic.  It's pathetic and  unforgiveable because that same discipline would deliver absolute victory--if they had the wisdom to go for it.

please he is a wanker who will explode the budget as well as Bush or Obama and the veterans in GOP will be glad to help him, that is why they are lining up behind  him.  they WANT to convert the GOP into the Not-Democrat party ---"So what everything sucks, if you don't like Democrats come on in"  that way they can screw up anyway they like

they have looked at the last 30 years and they put their finger on where it all went wrong for Republicans:

Republicans promised but refused to deliver

so they hit on the solution

don't promise anything!

They won't even promise to repeal Obamacare, in fact the Republican House funded it and will fund it again, and they are already saying that if they don't have the White House , the House, and 60 votes in the Senate they can't touch it.  And if the public doesn't give them that dictatorial power immediately then  they can never repeal it ever.  There is no point to a professional association of career politicians that just wants to defeat Democrats, and they can't hold it togetehr.  They already failed in 2005-2006.

Emi it looks like the guys who run VA GOP should be prosecuted for fraud

VA law says you gotta have 10,000 valid signatures
VA law says the state party needs to do the verifying
VA law says the state party draws up the rules for doing it

so the VA GOP made a rule : drop 10,000 signed pieces of paper on their desk and they'd stamp it verified.

somebody sued, so the VA GOP changed that rule around Halloween:  drop 15,000 signed pieces of paper on their desk and they call it verified.  Any less and they run the names in a computer against a list of addresses to check if they're accurate.

VA GOP says Gingrich brought about 12,000 signatures and Perry 11,900.   Now prior to this October the VA GOP would have rubberstamped them as qualified.
However this time they ran the names into computer list and Perry lost 5800, over half, and Gingrich lost enough to drop below 10,000.
Ron Paul brought in 14,000, the VA GOP says they spent 7 hours checking and he had well over 10,000 so they qualified him.
Romney dropped 15,000 signatures on their desk so they qualified him without checking.  They said nobody ever got 15,000 signatures with a 33% failure rate so he must have made it.

bunch of things wrong

1.  I don't know how anybody can read state law and say, "well since I have the duty to swear something is true, and the right to chart my own methods, I can swear its true without checking it."  I'm pretty sure Virginia, which has been around the block govt-wise, has something about making a declaration of fact that isn't true.   Even if VA allowed it, federal elections have to be fair and give equal protection to all candidates.

2.  VA GOP hasn't offered its list of addresses for anybody to verify.

3.  VA GOP hasn't explained how it checked.   Did it run 1000 names and find a failure rate it then extrapolated to the whole submission?  That would explain how Perry can get 50% off and Ron Paul passes "easily".

4.  If Romney failed as bad as Perry, he didn't qualify either.  But the VA GOP doesn't believe he could fail so it certified he didnt/

I think the whole GOP ballot in VA should be discarded

they'd all just pick Johnny Depp who came up when they created this list of 10 in IRC anyway
