I think people need to read up on this case before freaking out. The administration is right on this and the Bush administration would’ve supported the same stance. Overruling Jackson will not take away the right to counsel.
Yes, but if you wanted an attorney present for questioning it would take away that right. Yes, everyone gets a lawyer in court, but they should also have one during questioning if they so desire. Why do you think it’s a good idea to overturn it?
One might claim that the Miranda is enough, that the person should know better than to talk after that. But a psychologically vulnerable person (this is not equivalent to a criminal person) might be yet coerced into talking. It is not “freaking out” to show a genuine concern, so you only put forth a straw man.
Have you read the petition for Cert linked in post #35, or the amicus brief filed by numerous former federal judges, prosecutors and a former Director of the FBI supporting the upholding of Michigan v. Jackson?
Read the petition and you will change your mind.
