You have no right to a speedy trial
I'm speechless.
Marcia Cooke, Federal judge trying the case of Jose Padilla, has held that our Constitutionally-protected right to a speedy trial only comes into play when a suspect is actually charged with a crime. Before that time, Government officials can hold you in a cell indefinitely. So, if the government never wants to see someone come to trial, all they have to do is not charge them with any crime. I see. Well, that's alright then. No possibility of injustice there.
Someone tell me…when is it time to revolt, again?
I'm waiting.
