According to a top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, President Obama and his administration have ordered FBI agents to read terror suspects their Miranda rights; even though they have been captured on foreign soil and are not U.S. citizens officially protected by the Miranda vs. Arizona decision over 40 years ago.
Michigan congressman Mike Rogers, met recently with military, intelligence, and law-enforcement officials on a fact finding trip to Afghanistan. What he found was deeply troubling. The Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered the FBI to issue Miranda rights to foreign fighters captured on the field of battle.
Q: as we study the way every legal court action is effected by "Stare Decisis" we understand from now on anyone picked up on a battle field can insist on going to federal court and enjoying "Miranda" rights.
A:Stare decisis: is the legal principle under which judges are obligated to follow the precedents established in prior decisions. In the United States, which uses a common law system in its federal courts and most of its state courts.
Reality Check: Flashback: Obama in March: 'Now, do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.'
