Amendment 5, of the Bill of Rights:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or navel forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war,or public danger;nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardyof life or limb;nor shall be compelled in any criminalcase to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of live, liberty, or property, without due processof law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Read an decide the propriety for yourself. The Bill of Rights exists for all of our protection, but can be misused, and abused by those who don't understand it.
I will protect these rights to the end, but really don't like the constant attempts to change the interpretation to suit an individuals needs in a case of national, or public importance. These IRS officials are not under indictment for any crimes,(yet), and are employees of the taxpayers of this country, they owe us , their employers, an explanation of their actions and thought processes. Yes, I defend their rights under the Constitution, but condemn them for the constant misuse of their given rights.
