    Um, how is that not in conflict with this:

    Amendment 5
    No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime,
    unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising
    in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time
    of War or public danger;…nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.[edit due to space]

    and with this:

    Amendment 6
    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and
    public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime
    shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously
    ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the
    accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory
    process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of
    Counsel for his defence.
