Q

Sotomayer dissent in Berghuis

A

←minimal responses to questioning (prior to the incriminating statement) do not amount to a course of conduct indicating waiver.
←The Court’s holding that police may interrogate a suspect until he unambiguously invokes his right to silence by speaking is an unwarranted extension of prior case law and provides the wrong standard. A more appropriate rule would be that police should scrupulously honor the suspect’s rights.
