ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH should lose tax exempt status for PRO-ILLEGAL lobbying efforts?

The 5th ammendment does not give you the right to impede an investigation by not answering questions about crimes others committed. You do not have the right to be silent about that. Maybe you'll be one of the fools sitting in a jail cell saying, "They have no right to do this to me!" because you thought you knew the law.

 

nope, I don't have to answer questions. I have witnessed a crime before, and when the police I came politely said that I do not speak to the police. They can subpena me into court where I have to answer their questions, but on the street I don't have to say anything. If I am detained or arrested then the 5th amendment comes directly into play and I definitely aint saying anything. Not answering a question from a LEO is not impeding an investigation.

Maybe Idaho is a police state, I don't know I have only been there once, and it was really rural. Maybe things are different out there.

 

When you are deliberately concealing a crime or have involvement in a crime, you can be charged with obstruction of justice. The bishops deliberately hiding and protecting illegal immigrants go well beyond just witnessing a crime. But just so you know how thoroughly wrong you are:

 

Indeed. And in the case of the Catholic Church, I'll see your obstruction and raise you a criminal conspiracy.

"Conspiracy cases are defined as cases in which two or more persons agree to commit a crime or to perpetrate an illegal act. The end may be legal, but the planned means are illegal. For example, two persons making a plan to steal bread from a supermarket (illegal) to donate to a local food bank (legal) would be guilty of conspiracy. While intent is key in any federal conspiracy case, only “general intent” to violate the law is necessary; proof of the defendants’ specific intent to violate the law is not needed, only an agreement to engage in an illegal act."

 

which of course has nothing to do with being silent, when questioned by the police.
