On Rights Secured

Dr. Kyle Litz shared the following:

I found this snippet from the famous Miranda case and had to share it. The force of its reason and truth rang so loudly I hoped you'd find a use for it against the war on guns.

“When rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.” Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436 p. 491.

Not a bad thought to keep in mind...

    Some legal questions:

    Miranda was a SCotUS case, right? If so, is every sentence, phrase, or clause in the majority opinion incontrovertable case law? Or are there parts of the Ruling that are The Rule, and parts that are merely expository?

    If someone brought the Miranda quote to the attention of the Court in the DC vs Heller case, would it have weight?
