Iowa debate: Recap and epilogue
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15, 2011-Now that the dust has settled and a few days passed, it is time to last Thursday's Iowa GOP debate in perspective.
Fox News was a big winner. The Liberals insist that shills for the GOP Fox News, but Fox News keeps winning in the notes because the real journalists like Brett Baier and Chris Wallace asking tough questions. If MSNBC had a new division rather than the current format of liberal opinion 100%, Barack Obama would have been properly checked. Each contestant was challenged only GOP, which made strong responses are given more weight.
The only complaint with Fox News is that potential candidates who are not on the scene must remain silent. A question about Rick Perry and Sarah Palin were inappropriate, because they take time away from candidates on stage. All networks play this game, and it must stop. The focus should be on those who took the time and effort to confront the questions.
Of the eight candidates on stage, six of them and is composed. Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty were inflamed. Herman Cain was funny. Michele Bachmann was passionate. Mitt Romney was polished. Rick Santorum was sincere.
Bachmann came out shooting, Barack Obama said "You finished in 2012."
Brett Baier got the first laugh of the night, noting that Romney has been accused of hiding in the "Mittness Protection Program."
Romney defended well all night, and justified its low raises Obama crashes. "I will not eat dog food for Obama" was a great line. But his best line was "Obama is out of his depth. To create jobs, you must have a job."
Chris Wallace asked a very hard, but totally correct (as is almost always the case with Wallace ultra-professional) question about passing Romney Bain Capital that the dismissed workers.
Romney responded intelligently and appropriately. Bain, "we have invested in hundreds of companies, not all of them worked." He then told Wallace, "I know how an economy."
Romney also distinguished between legal and illegal, and said that America should welcome the best and brightest. "If you have a PhD in physics, we need a green card based on your diploma."
When high Romneycare Wallace, Romney was well prepared. He distinguishes between the federal and state mandates and asked Wallace, "Are you familiar with the Constitution of Massachusetts? I am.
You Have the Right to Remain . . .
Ou have the right to remain silent. Those seven words form the first sentence of that American icon, the Miranda Warning. The reading of a suspect’s rights is so imbedded in our culture that even grade school students can recite it. But I would argue that while the general public gets the wording right, they generally score a big “F” when it comes to understanding the Miranda rights—and this could kill an author’s otherwise meticulously written police procedural. Let’s take a look at what Miranda is, and is not.
The Miranda Warning grew out of a landmark 1966 Supreme Court case. The decision in Miranda vs. Arizona held that statements made by a suspect while in police custody could only be used during trial if the state showed that:
1) It had warned the suspect of his or her rights against self incrimination;
2) The suspect understood these rights, and;
3) The suspect had voluntarily waived their rights.
That’s the essence, and like so much in life the Miranda Warning has exceptions aplenty. These exceptions are significant and have led many to presume that an arrest is not legal if the arresting officer did not inform the suspect of their rights. This is so entrenched in the public’s mind that it’s taken on mythical proportions.
Briefly, there are innumerable instances in which officers arrest people for crimes committed in their presence—shoplifting, for example, or felony assault and battery—it doesn’t matter. The officer arrests the suspect and takes them to the station for processing. But all along the corners of the suspect’s mouth begin to lift. This grows into a smile as they’re fingerprinted and ends in outright laughter as the officer puts their arrestee in a detention cell, at which point the suspect invariably utters that magical line, “Ha ha, you never read me my rights. Now I’m gonna sue you for false arrest.” But, the officer has nothing to worry about because where Miranda is concerned, it’s all about whether the officer interrogated the suspect while they suspect was in police custody. In other words, it the officer saw the crime committed, he doesn’t need to ask the suspect, “Did you do it?” So there’s no need to “Mirandize” the suspect.
