“Want to invoke your right to remain silent? You'll have to speak up. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court's conservative majority (Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Kennedy) expanded its limits on Miranda rights… ruled that suspects must break their silence and tell police that they are going to remain quiet…or police can keep asking questions as long as they want…' “Justice Sotomayor (with Stevens, Ginsburg, and Breyer) said the ruling turned American's rights of protection from police abuse 'upside down.' Elena Kagan, who has been nominated to replace Stevens, sided with the police as Solicitor General when the case came before the court.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/01/supreme-court-miranda-rul_n_596012.html added by: ryan8566
