Obama to defendents; You don't need legal representation ...
before talking to police.
Obama Legal Team Seeks To Limit Defendents' Right To Not Be Questioned Without Lawyer
Quote:
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule a 23 year-old decision that stopped police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, the latest stance that has disappointed civil rights and civil liberties groups.
Since taking office, Obama has drawn criticism for backing the continued imprisonment of enemy combatants in Afghanistan without trial, invoking the "state secrets" privilege to avoid releasing information in lawsuits and limiting the rights of prisoners to test genetic evidence used to convict them.

Hmmm. What do the obamunists think of this? Why is this not ALL over the MSM?
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Obama to end representation in interrogations?
Quote:
Can you imagine what the outcry over this would have been had President John McCain, or for that matter President George W. Bush, had tried this? Newspapers around the nation would have decried his assault on civil liberties. PFAW and the ACLU would have staged rallies in every American city, and they would have called Bush, McCain, or any other Republican a fascist for denying legal counsel to people under police questioning. We’d have an endless line of appearances on television news programs from people who got coerced into false confessions after having been denied counsel.
Instead, with Obama in office, we have to discover this from a British newspaper. The only other coverage seen on this side of the pond has been from SCOTUS Blog (neutral analysis) and the HuffPo’s reprint of an AP report.

Never fails.
The wingnuts bring out their fake "civil liberties" arguments only when Dems are in charge.
Back when Bush was in power they never uttered a word.
From the Right, only a Ron Pauler or Libertarian has the crediblity to call Obama on this.
( Obama is wrong btw...I'm just not going to be lectured by someone who doesn't give a crappe about civil liberties like a typical GOPer)

No this isn't what I voted for, nor did I vote for the bank bailout as it is being oversee, but to think that Obama or any President was going to please me 75% of the time much less 100% would have been extremely naive on my part. And believe me when I say that I am not naive by any stretch of the imagination.
