- imwillofficial 3y agoI was talking about holding people in contempt and jailing them for long periods of time.
- HWR_14 3y agoYou can not be held in contempt for invoking your 5th amendment rights when they apply. That's one of the things the fifth amendment protects against.
- imwillofficial 3y agoThen why does it happen?
- HWR_14 3y agoIt doesn't. When has it in the past 50 years? (There were some violations during the 60s and earlier). You might find a counter example with some CIA involvement or something. Like you cannot walk into a bank with a gun yelling 5th amendment and not go to jail. It's not blanket. It protects you from statements of self incrimination.
- imwillofficial 3y agoAre you serious?
- HWR_14 3y agoYes. What's your counterexample?
