It's fine for a state to change its laws and require that cops read suspects their "Miranda rights." My dispute is not with that. My dispute is with pretending it's a constitutional issue, which it is not.

In order for a confession to be valid, it must be given freely and voluntarily.

That is not the issue at hand.

If one chooses of his own free will to confess, it is voluntary, by definition. Whether he knows his rights or not is largely irrelevant.
