In response to this article I'd have to ask why thy think he had child pornography on his hard drive? What caused them to believe he was doing anything illegal? Next I'd say what is his profession? Computer Programmer? Might he not have proprietary data on the HD that can't be shared or seen by anyone without the owner’s permission, say his employer? I just get very cautious of not only the use of Amendments being used in a flip way but also AMENDING the Constitution!
So I'd say, if he chooses to use the Fifth, which in my opinion automatically seems like he's guilty, it is STILL HIS RIGHT as and American to do so and for any court or judge etc. to question that ability makes me wonder how much of our Legal System is truly based on the Constitution and how much the Supreme Court really DOES up hold the Constitution in favor of WE THE PEOPLE??? That statement of course removes the context of Corporations being PEOPLE as the SC has so adamantly stated they are. I have to say as someone has stated elsewhere, "If a Corporation can DIE for this Country, then I will say they are PEOPLE!" Just love that!
Sorry, I didn't really play the game well and just used this to spout off my angst and frustrations with the whole Corporate World and Governments...at least I didn't mention religion this time.
