Free or Compulsory Speech - Murray N. Rothbard - Mises Daily

Free or Compulsory Speech - Murray N. Rothbard - Mises Daily: "The Fifth Amendment, as we all know, prohibits the government from forcing a person to testify against himself: 'nor shall any person … be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.'
