Sorry I assume everyone else has it.

My brother in christ, I’m not talking about the pretext the government used to attack Iraq. I’m talking about the fact that the two things had nothing to do with each other.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The fact that the government used that as a pretext doesn’t magically link the two things.
we were attacking a country for the president’s personal vendetta
This had nothing to do with 9/11. Invading Iraq was much later. You’re conflating the two.
“Bush did 9/11” is crazy talk. “Bush invaded Iraq because he wanted to get back at Saddam Hussein and make money for Halliburton” is not.
Super Baseball 2020 on the SNES was and still is a great game.
The prosecution generally does not call recalcitrant witnesses because they make bad ones.
How would you tell a witness who was hiding something from a witness who didn’t see anything?
Corroborating evidence. If multiple people say “yeah Jimmy saw the entire thing”, that’s how you know. The lawyers can’t just say “we think @[email protected] was there so they have to testify.” Mostly because you’d make a terrible witness for the prosecution (or the defense).
Do you feel that the 4th amendment should protect them?
No.
Or perhaps a new amendment should be written to protect them and abolish power of subpoena?
No. In fact I think people who refuse to testify should be held in contempt until they do. If they lie, perjury should be strictly prosecuted.
[T]o force an individual to speak or disclose part of their mind is a wild overreach of power and an affront to the personal liberty of the innocent.
I strongly disagree with the concept that “I was a witness to a rape, but I shouldn’t have to tell a court what I saw because my right to shut up is more important than the right of the state and victim to get justice or for the right of the defense to have a fair trial.”

It’s an amazing book, but no one would consider it a masterpiece.
