If you recieve a subpoena for court, normally you can be compelled to testify. If you fail to appear or do not testify in the court you can be found to be in contempt of court and be sentenced to jail or a fine. The only legal way to get out of testifying is if you plead the 5th amendment right to not incriminate yourself. The prosecution can get around this by granting you immunity to the things you testify to.

The ACLU is a unfavourable, anti-American corporation. As a Conservative I concern them just about as much as al-Qay'eda. they are making united statesa. a antagonistic place for Christians. They declare to guard the form, yet continually ignore the 2d modification; that's the modification that protects all of the others.
