Dr. Anthony Fauci just invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly during today’s Senate hearing.

Whether you agree with his decision or not, this is a live demonstration of one of the most important protections in the Bill of Rights. The right against self-incrimination exists for a reason — and it has a long, contested history.
#FifthAmendment #FauciImage The Fifth Amendment states that no person “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.”

This was not written as a technicality. The Founders had seen systems where the state could force people to assist in their own prosecution. The privilege was designed as a hard limit on that power.
