In my opinion, a riveting article. (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/01/baltimore_judge_guts_the_5th_amendment.html)
Just a day after a weeping President Obama attempted to disembowel the 2d Amendment with a series of unconstitutional executive orders, a liberal judge in Maryland, caving to the mob justice in that plagues that benighted city, gutted the 5th Amendment
The powers that be will try every which way to get a guilty verdict against the Officers for the accidental death of Freddie Gray, & no Constitution is going to stand in their way.
Officer William G. Porter (who's 1st case ended in a mistrial, & he's due to be tried again in June) will be forced to testify against Officer Caesar R. Goodson.
What’s especially remarkable about what happened in that Baltimore courtroom is that both the judge and the prosecutor demonstrated that they clearly knew what they were doing was unconstitutional and unethical but proceeded anyway. Prosecutor Michael Schatzow knows that what he sought, and what the judge gave him, had no basis in Maryland law. Schatzow’s claimed that forcing Porter to testify is “necessary to the public interest.†He might as well have been prosecuting a show trial in the 1930s in Moscow or Berlin.
Porter’s attorneys have appealed the ruling and are asking for an injunction from the appellate courts. Maryland’s appellate judiciary is reliably liberal but hopefully will recognize this for the travesty of constitutional justice it is.

Anything to further the narrative. No matter what it takes.

No surprise here. After all, look at their shining example of a "constitutional 'scholar'" they have in the White House?
