On the Miranda, I agree with Scalia and Thomas, who dissented when the Supreme Court upheld Miranda police warnings in June of 2000. But, not over my dead body should the Bill of Rights be changed. Justices Antonin Scalia, a longtime Miranda critic, and Clarence Thomas, the court's two most conservative members, were the only dissenters. "Today's judgement converts Miranda from a milestone of judicial overreaching into the very Cheops' pyramid (or perhaps the Sphinx would be a better analog) of judicial arrogance," Scalia said, referring to the king of Egypt who built the great pyramids outside Cairo. He said the court should admit it made a mistake.
