Supreme Court of the United States

United States v. Hubbell — Thomas, J., concurring

June 5, 2000530 U.S. 27

Summary

Justice Thomas concurs in the judgment but writes separately to question the Court's act-of-production doctrine, arguing that the original meaning of 'witness' in the Fifth Amendment may protect against compelled production of any incriminating evidence, not just testimonial communications, and he remains open to reconsidering Fisher v. United States.
