Gulf coast anywhere from new orleans over through, say, biloxi, mississippi. kind of right in that target zone for a category 1 land fall with some of that storm surge upwards of 6 to 8 feet, tam ron, in areas of course hit very hard by katrina almost seven years to the date. i m in tampa, just outside the convention center, the forum behind me. so far, isaac has played fairly nice with the republicans. aside from delaying activity from the dee, making it a three-day instead of four-day convention, we really have gotten just wind and rain. none of the widespread flooding we were fearing, because look how low the facilities are on the water. it really doesn t take much, just a couple of feet of water rise to create a huge problem here for the 50 to 70,000 delegate and visitors here for the convention. couple of changes to the convention, i should mention. governor from louisiana announced a short time ago he ....
Contempt. if the committee does, then it goes to the full house, and then, tam ron, i don t know what happens after that because if the full house votes to find the attorney general in contempt, then the matter is referred, guess what, to the justice department for potential prosecution. now, in the past if the president has asserted executive privilege, then those in washington would decline to do anything. that isn t the case here. usually these things get resolved before it gets to that sort of legal no man s land because the courts generally don t like to referee these disputes between congress and the executive branch. i don t know whether i would say that hopes are high that this meeting will resolve it, so it s just who knows? i mean, it s going to depend on how much the attorney general gives and whether chairman issa finds that to be enough. in the letter that the chairman wrote to the attorney general, i know you have the letter as well. it says only the delivery of documen ....

It is irresponsible, and it is unsustainable and we need a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, and the president talked about a balanced approach of taxes and spending cut, and we need not a balanced approach, but a balanced budget amendment to the constitution so that we can get the spending under control, tam ron. you know how the people out there feel, senator barrasso, and they want to see something done and they will hold congress accountable if you look at the polling numbers. thank you so much, sir. and developing now, from ottawa, canada, the prince and duchess just touched down which starts their nine-day canadian tour, and william and kate will lay a wreath at the national war museum and they will take place in canada day celebrations tomorrow. but this is video coming into us, will and kate touching down in north america. we will be right back.
