The 5th amendment refers to Spousal Privilege - which is only open to federally recognized married couples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege
Ah, I would assume you are a die hard libertarian? Don't worry too much about it, not all laws are bad. But it covers things like immigration, hospital visitation (where you spouse can visit you - even if your family hates them), inheritance and things like that.
Like I said, I doubt most of those will effect you - unless you fall in love with someone born in another country and want them to stay with you.

Where?
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 shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, 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.

In the country were you have legal residance.

I just quoted the whole Fifth Amendment. There's no mention of spousal privelege. In fact, it specifically mentiones "No person" meaning it's not something exclusive to spouses.
|
Does that help with you question? What are you trying to say?

This is not relevant to the fifth amendment though. The law you cited is a separate entity which invokes the positive rights secured in the fifth amendment. This means the fifth amendment does not need to be changed one bit, only the federal law. You made the point that the fifth amendment would need to be altered, I asked for clarification.
" You would need to change over 15,000 Federal laws and statues – including the 5th amendment"
