What is POFP?

Why do lawyers refer to long documents as briefs and
18-year olds as infants? Why do they use so much Latin when so few of their
clients are Ancient Romans? Is it a conspiracy?

On this day in 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, but gets off on a penumbral emanation

On this day in 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, but gets off on a penumbral emanation. As Ed Whelan notes at NRO, the initial Miranda decision was 5-4, over a vigorous dissent by Justice Harlan, who pointed out that the warnings are not mandated by the Constitution's text. When the Court came to re-examine Miranda in the Dickerson case, the majority conceded that the use at trial of a voluntary confession, in the absence of Miranda warnings, does not violate the Constitution, but supported the warnings as a "prophylactic" device. Scalia rightly blasted the majority for assuming an "immense and frightening anti-democratic power" -- not merely to enforce the Constitution, but to impose prophylactic policies that can void the laws of elected state and federal legislators.

I usually do not leave a response, but after browsing a few of the comments on this page "On this day in 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, but gets off on a penumbral emanation".
I do have some questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it look like like some of the comments appear like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I'd like
to keep up with you. Could you list of every one of all your social sites like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
