Arizona<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/em> over 50 years ago, has become guarded precedent such that the Court has shielded it from attack even if subsequent jurists disagreed with its decree \u2013 at least for now.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" id=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another well-established rule is the ability to sue the government when one\u2019s rights have been violated.&nbsp; Section 1983 is a federal statute that allows a person to sue those in government who cause a \u201cdeprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn4\" id=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp; The statute was passed at a time when the federal government became concerned with states that may be \u201cunable or unwilling\u201d to protect individual freedoms and enforce the laws, and if a state would not intervene, federal courts could do so.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" id=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a>&nbsp; Section 1983 is the statute often used to claim the government acted in an unconstitutional manner and that a statute should be enjoined or an injured party should be compensated with money damages \u2013 <em>e.g.<\/em>, challenging an Ohio public school district\u2019s discipline of students<a href=\"#_ftn6\" id=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>; holding prison guards liable for using excessive force that caused death in the Toledo, Ohio area<a href=\"#_ftn7\" id=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a>; and challenging the Ohio Department of Health\u2019s refusal to change sex markers on birth certificates for transgender persons<a href=\"#_ftn8\" id=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Miranda<\/em> and Section 1983 recently intersected in the matter of <em>Vega v. Tekoh<\/em>.&nbsp; The Supreme Court faced a dilemma: if police officers violated a \u201cconstitutional rule\u201d created by <em>Miranda<\/em> that was meant to protect the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, could a person sue for money damages under Section 1983 as he would for any other violation of a right?&nbsp; (Spoiler Alert:&nbsp; No.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case arose out of a confession to sexual assault.&nbsp; A patient accused Terence Tekoh (\u201cTekoh\u201d), a certified nursing assistant, of sexual assault, and after questioning by Deputy Carlos Vega (\u201cVega\u201d), Tekoh eventually signed a written confession.&nbsp; That confession was used at trial over Tekoh\u2019s objection.&nbsp; Tekoh was acquitted, and he sued Vega in federal court alleging a violation of his civil rights \u2013 specifically, for violating his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination because Vega obtained a confession without first providing <em>Miranda<\/em> warnings that was later used against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One could reasonably conclude that when police officers obtain a confession without first issuing the <em>Miranda<\/em> warnings, a \u201cconstitutional rule\u201d has been violated and the suspect could sue in federal court under Section 1983 for money damages.&nbsp; After all, that is the purpose of Section 1983:&nbsp; \u201cThe purpose of [Section 1983] is to deter state actors from using the badge of their authority to deprive individuals of their federally guaranteed rights and to provide relief to victims if such deterrence fails.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn9\" id=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a>&nbsp; That conclusion is arguably even more appropriate within the <em>Miranda<\/em> context considering, as a group of scholars did in an amicus brief filed <em>Vega<\/em>, similar warnings had been provided as a well-established practice for hundreds of years before the <em>Miranda<\/em> decision itself.&nbsp; The warnings were a fundamental part of legal culture.<a href=\"#_ftn10\" id=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court, however, saw the issue differently.&nbsp; In <em>Vega<\/em>, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that even if <em>Miranda<\/em> was based on the Constitution, there is no \u201cright\u201d to <em>Miranda <\/em>warnings, and thus no ability to invoke Section 1983 to vindicate a non-existent right.&nbsp; \u201cAt no point in the [<em>Miranda<\/em>] opinion did the Court state that a violation of its new rules constituted a violation of the Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn11\" id=\"_ftnref11\">[11]<\/a>&nbsp; <em>Miranda <\/em>was not itself a right, but rather, a set of \u201crules\u201d designed to \u201csafeguard\u2019 other rights during interrogation.<a href=\"#_ftn12\" id=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a>&nbsp; While a confession obtained without <em>Miranda<\/em> warnings could be suppressed at a criminal trial (an evidentiary remedy recognized by <em>Miranda <\/em>and its progeny), a person could not also sue for money damages because, simply put, there is no \u201cright\u201d to <em>Miranda<\/em> in the Constitution to create a Section 1983 cause of action.&nbsp; In other words, violating a \u201cconstitutional rule\u201d was not akin to violating a \u201cright\u201d because the Fifth Amendment says nothing about a right to receive <em>Miranda <\/em>warnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>Vega<\/em> is not itself transformative \u2013 after all, the Fifth Amendment does not actually state that one has a right to receive <em>Miranda<\/em> warnings \u2013 the path the Court took to arrive at that conclusion provides some indication about how the Court views its role and its own power.&nbsp; For instance, <em>Vega<\/em> suggests that the Court is skeptical about the bounds of government action and its limited authority, even if the action at issue has become commonplace and routine.&nbsp; Last term, the Court decided <em>AMG Capital Management, LLC v. Federal Trade Commission<\/em>, which struck down the Federal Trade Commission\u2019s (\u201cFTC\u201d) practice of seeking monetary relief in certain circumstances \u2013 an established FTC practice that, as many observed, had become the \u201cnorm.\u201d&nbsp; The Court, however, found such action exceeded statutory authority and struck down a practice even though it became commonplace.<a href=\"#_ftn13\" id=\"_ftnref13\">[13]<\/a>&nbsp; Recently, in <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em>, the Court overruled precedent recognizing a right to abortion despite the country adapting to that right for decades.<a href=\"#_ftn14\" id=\"_ftnref14\">[14]<\/a>&nbsp; And with respect to <em>Miranda<\/em>, Justice Alito questioned whether the Court had the authority to issue <em>Miranda<\/em> in the first place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether this Court has the authority to create constitutionally based prophylactic rules that bind both federal and state courts has been the subject of debate among jurists and commentators. . . . But that is what the Court did in&nbsp;<em>Miranda<\/em>, and we do not disturb that decision in any way. Rather, we accept it on its own terms, and for the purpose of deciding this case, we follow its rationale.<a href=\"#_ftn15\" id=\"_ftnref15\">[15]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court\u2019s second-guessing of its own authority, together with restricting that authority and the authority of other branches of government unless a statute or the Constitution clearly allows it, is an emerging theme that may very well guide future cases before the current Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, there is the issue of <em>stare decisis<\/em> and when, if ever, precedent should be overruled.&nbsp; <em>Stare decisis<\/em> is the idea that \u201ctoday\u2019s Court should stand by yesterday\u2019s decisions\u201d because respecting precedent is a \u201cfoundation stone of the rule of law.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn16\" id=\"_ftnref16\">[16]<\/a>&nbsp; The doctrine arose out of the Framers of the Constitution itself \u2013 it is a doctrine that \u201cpermits society to presume that bedrock principles are founded in the law rather than in the proclivities of individuals, and thereby contributes to the integrity of our constitutional system of government, both in appearance and in fact.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn17\" id=\"_ftnref17\">[17]<\/a>&nbsp; <em>Stare decisis<\/em> does not mean that prior cases can never be overturned.&nbsp; The doctrine permits that practice, but in so doing, reserves such a drastic change for the rarest of cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent developments suggest that the Court\u2019s disagreement with prior case law could place well-settled understandings of law in question.&nbsp; Justice Alito, for example, questioned the Court\u2019s authority to issue <em>Miranda<\/em>, which had become part of the \u201cnational culture,\u201d in a footnote (quoted above), even though that question was likely not directly related to the question before the Court or dispositive of any legal issue, thereby raising questions about whether the Court would reconsider <em>Miranda<\/em> itself in a future case.<a href=\"#_ftn18\" id=\"_ftnref18\">[18]<\/a>&nbsp; The Court\u2019s recent decision in <em>Dobbs<\/em>, which recognized how abortion had become part of American life for nearly five decades, also signaled the Court\u2019s willingness to discard established precedent because, in the Court\u2019s view, the prior decision was \u201cwrong.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn19\" id=\"_ftnref19\">[19]<\/a>&nbsp; If <em>stare decisis<\/em> is the bedrock of our legal system and a closely guarded foundation of the rule of law, the current Court may be poised to expand upon when and in what cases future jurists can use their disagreement with prior cases to disturb settled precedent \u2013 which, as a consequence, could open up large swaths of cases to reexamination when they were once thought to be untouchable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue before the Court in <em>Vega<\/em> was narrow, and the Court\u2019s decision was undoubtedly a win for government officials.&nbsp; But placing <em>Vega<\/em> in context and considering the direction of the Court could mean that <em>Vega<\/em>, as in other cases over the past two terms, is another iteration of a Court that will not hesitate to check the government\u2019s (including its own) authority, even if doing so means overruling decades of precedent that, at least for the current generation, has always been the law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <em>Dickerson v.
