Re "Court Gives Leeway to Interrogate," May 28: This Supreme Court decision clearly undercuts the Miranda decision and was fueled by the right-wing ideology that pervades our executive branch and our deliberative bodies. The stacking of the Supreme Court is nearly complete now, the Constitution and Bill of Rights have been relegated to the trash bin and, sadly, most Americans are too self-absorbed to notice or even care. The only thing that cuts through that haze is the vitriolic campaign of hate that seems to have taken over the airwaves.
People like me, who believe that the government should work for all the people, have been demonized and branded as unpatriotic. No one understands how I, a Vietnam veteran (USMC 1967-69), could possibly be a liberal thinker in the best Jeffersonian tradition. We now face an administration that in its arrogance makes life-or-death decisions in secret, has OKd torture and incarceration with classified charges and then tells us it's none of our business.
