Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime,
unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising
in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time
of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense
to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any
criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law;
.
“I plead the 5th” may the most quotable reference to the Bill of Rights, but it
is much more than that, as you can plainly see. And please notice the
exceptions few know exist: “in time of war or public danger.” Seems like the
Gitmo prisoners are a "public danger". Sandra Day O’Connor cast the deciding
vote (Kelo) misinterpreting “public use” to include anything that would
generate revenue for the govt. This could have long range effects as the
world’s super rich buy up our infrastructure.
