Beware: your rights could be crimes

Article Abstract:

The US judicial system places businesses at a disadvantage due to contradictory regulations which do not protect witnesses in cases against self-incrimination. Under the Fifth Amendment, witnesses are not allowed to testify against themselves in court. However, the law requires companies to furnish private documents for examination upon the request of the government. The law can be used against businesses in gathering evidence in cases concerning environmental infractions such as the Texas Eastman Chemical Company case wherein the firm was fined for emissions.

Republicans fixing to nationalize gambling issue

Article Abstract:

The Republican Party should not attempt to restrict gambling by misguided laws as this is a direct violation of the 10th amendment that guarantees civil liberties. There are questions regarding the gambling issue and regulators should be careful that they do not override civil liberties in the process. Interpretation of the constitution maintains that the pursuit of happiness is a basic civil liberty.

Beware: your rights could be crimes (Part II)

Article Abstract:

Court rulings are giving way to the needs of law enforcement over time. The Fourth Amendment, which protects the right of people from unlawful search and seizures, seems to diminish statute against governmental regulations. Observers suggest that Congress should act at once to block all legislations that will authorize warrantless entry into private properties and premises.
