The Supreme Court rules that you don’t actually have that 5th Amendment right

Department of Revoking the Constitution:

The Supreme Court rules that you don’t actually have a 5th Amendment right to remain silent, because your silence incriminates you:

“In Salinas v. Texas, the justices gave prosecutors a gift by upholding the murder conviction of a man whose silence during questioning was subsequently at trial used to help convince jurors of his guilt. What the decision really means is that to invoke your right to remain silent you have to initially speak up.”
