The Justices voted on Thursday, June 23, to limit the ability to enforce those rights, noting that suspects who aren’t warned about their right to remain silent can no longer sue an officer under federal civil rights laws. The court declared that the Miranda warning still protects a constitutional right, but the notice itself is not a right that would trigger the ability to bring a civil lawsuit.

He stated that he is working with Governor Gavin Newsom and the legislature to advance laws that keep Californians safe: “The data is clear and the consequences are dire — more guns in places make us less safe. - TheUnited States Supreme Court ruled Thursdaythat “a violation of Miranda does not necessarily constitute a violation of the Constitution”, meaning: you cannot sue a police officer for violating your Miranda rights. Got something you’ve always wanted to know about Southern California and the people who call it home? - It’s time to bring out the rosé again. But in writing the opinion for the court, Justice Clarence Thomas said such a restriction is unconstitutional because “it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.” In California, we are committed to passing and defending commonsense, constitutional gun laws that save lives." Some states require a permit to carry a gun. It's up to law enforcement in each county to determine how it's carried out. Just yesterday, in a 6-3 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the 2nd amendment overrides laws in New York that restrict who can legally carry guns in public. Are you ready to be a member? “So it's really hard to imagine California's concealed carry permitting system isn't also on borrowed time.” Well, before we get to the latest U.S. Supreme Court rulings, I want to make a special plea.

If the most substantive provisions of Miranda are still intact, why is everyone freaking out?

In other words, as the opinion goes, Miranda warnings are not inherently required by the Constitution. (Another pro-police argument we’ve heard in Vega is that it is the prosecutors and not the police who’d really be violating this right anyway, which is all very convenient because prosecutors are basically immune to lawsuits.) (Congress can, however, pass laws to strengthen it, and could pass a law today reversing the outcome of this ruling, however unlikely that may be.) As Kagan points out, the right to remain silent is still one that’s violated pretty often. In the late 1970s, in an effort to ensure people’s constitutional rights were being taken seriously, Congress passed a law handing them the right to sue almost anyone — police officers, in this case — for depriving them of “rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws.” The Fourth Amendment, for example, offers an explicit guarantee against “unreasonable searches and seizures” by the government. In other words, the dissenting liberal justices find the right and the rule are non-segregable. The question is whether the Fifth Amendment actually imparts a right to a Miranda warning. To start, the issue at hand is whether receiving a Miranda warning is inherently a right guaranteed to you under the Fifth Amendment—which, among other provisions, declares that people have a right not to be forced to incriminate themselves. It’s the court’s job to interpret the meaning behind the text and apply it, as fairly as possible, to any new and unforeseen circumstances that may arise. The majority opinion in Vega states that whether a defendant can sue or not, they can still seek “the suppression at trial” of un-Mirandized statements. These rights include, as you’re probably aware from those movies: the right to remain silent, as any statements you make can and probably will be used against you in court, and the right to legal counsel, even if you’re broke and can’t afford it. Tekoh, actually means is that you no longer have the ability to sue the cops if a statement gets introduced in court against you, even if your rights hadn’t been read at the time of the interrogation. Wade isn’t the only case this week to get mangled by a room full of partisan ideologues.
