Have an Amendment!

Is Eugene Volokh a fan of Dave Chappelle? He wonders why people only "take the Fifth" and not other amendments.

In last week's episode, Dave had a skit comparing the attitude towards 'white collar' crime versus 'drug-related' offenses (in a Law & Order rip-off). Dave (as a gang-banger dealer) got called before a congressional inquiry and, "plead the Fif." While the white guys who money laundered and stuff got beat up and had cigarettes burned in their head. If only!
