Connelly, n.d.). After his confession, the officer immediately told Connelly that he had the right to remain silent; however, he insisted that he wanted to continue discussing the murder. It was later found that Connelly suffered from schizophrenia and as a result, the court suppressed Connelly’s statement based on the fact that is was made involuntarily. When brought to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court had to determine if Connelly’s statement as evidence violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (Colorado v. Connelly, n.d.). The court determined that no violation of the Due Process Clause occurred based on the fact that the Miranda rights only protect against government coercion leading them to surrender rights protected by the Fifth Amendment (Colorado v. Connelly, n.d.). This ruling limited the scope of Warren’s decision in Miranda v. Arizona. While Rehnquist did not approve of the Courts past decisions in certain cases; however, Rehnquist still respected and upheld the Courts past decisions and enforced them in cases such as Dickerson v. United
