About the time i became a prosecutor. I became prosecutor and chief Law Enforcement officer for about one quarter of the state of vermonts elation. I have been practicing law for two to three years. I was asked on a friday if i would take over the job on a monday. There were all kinds of problems office. Tate secretarys i took it over. I realized the police had not been realized on what to do with miranda or m. A. P. Have retired Police Officers come to me and show me a miranda card with my name on it. I had them printed at my own expense. Them, try to point out to following the rules of m. A. P. Following, and saying if you do the wrong thing, it will be excluded. Or, following the rules of miranda, if you dont inform them of their rights, you cannot use the confession they make. These are rules that protect you as well as the person you are arresting. Noyou have a good case, matter what, you will have them. So make sure that peoples rights are respected. I also know, from my own work
And brought you as a Public Service by your local cable or satellite provider. We are pleased to have join us this week on the communicators, the vicechairman of the energy and Commerce Committee, representative marsha blackburn, a republican from tennessee. Congressman blackburn, with everything going on in the house right now, if we could just start on the big picture here, what are the chances that there will be any telecom or techrelated or cyberrelated legislation passing in the house this year . Rep. Blackburn when you look at the big picture, i think that overall you will see the house settle down. We will choose a speaker, the problem that we have right now is that it is a growing pains problem. We are a big party with a big tent. You have moderate republicans, you have very conservative republicans. And having everyone agree on a leader and agreed to come to the table and work things out is going to be an important first step. I think you will see us kind of work through that
