The US Supreme Court already ruled on this and said we no longer enjoy the 5th Amendment, that silence can be used against you.
We have lost just about every right we supposedly held.

I see the ruling. Chilling.
Although this was a partial-silence case. He had done a lot of incriminating talk already, and clammed up at a particular point. That's a little different than this.
A pure silence used against you is no 'Great Leap Forward', to use my Communist friend's terminology, but this is not that.
I expect that the observation of a suspects pure silence will be admissible as proof of guilt soon enough.
