Shhh, but say so

Um, what?

“A suspect who has received and understood the Miranda warnings, and has not invoked his Miranda rights, waives the right to remain silent by making an uncoerced statement to the police,” Justice Kennedy wrote.

This is mind-bogglingly silly. In order to remain silent, I have to talk.

The wrong justice is retiring.
