In article <570@mmm.UUCP> mrgofor@mmm.UUCP (MKR) quotes the 5th Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution, including the text:
>
> ** nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a
> ** witness against himself,
>
Is that "criminal case" as opposed to "civil case"? Do the laws which give
authority to I.R.S. fall into either of these categories, or something else
altogether. The amendment seems quite specific that the protection against
self-incrimination applies only in "criminal cases".
