at theeman said we are same place we were at the first day of congress, that is not true. the judiciary committee has gone through any number of actions, house resolutions, etc., this investigation is authorized and thee is nothing to say judiciary committee on the intelligence committee are no longer authorized. the last thing i would like to say, i think mr. freeman ended with this but i would like to emphasize it. there can't be any accommodation because the argument that the justice department is making is that they are prohibited by law from giving out this material. so there has been no accommodation. accommodation is about letting us see other stuff, well, that is not an accommodation. there can be no accommodation according to them, because they are barred by law. they would be putting themselves at risk of contempt if they share grand jury material with us, is what they are arguing. so the accommodation argument, they would agree with me. thank you, your honor. i appreciate your patience. >> thank you. >> on the merits of the particular needs standard and whether

haldeman -- -- theeman: the judge argued,the case was they said we are in general agreement with the district court treatment of the issues. judge rogers: no need to elaborate. mr. freeman: no need to elaborate on the general treatment of the issues, and the acknowledged that there was no meaningful analysis, it was pointed out that the underlying district court proceeding in itself is ambiguous and rationale. judge rogers: that sense that if we look at the decision by the court, you're not going to find it, but that decision says we sgree with judge circa' analysis and no need to elaborate. judge sirica's analysis and no need to elaborate. mr. freeman: and we are denying. on the narrative of the question, i agree that the judicial proceedings in front of you -- i just do not think -- this is an a porton question that no court of appeals has ever issued a decision, and i think -- judge rogers: so you say clearly held, and i thought that adverb was interesting, because you put it everywhere. no court has clearly held. the adverb. that was meant to refer to the standard. judge rogers:

speaker i rise today to honor theemans.they -- they are inian teetown a small town on the river in north florida it's pre small town to some, the yankeetown community has always rallied in ways that many cannot imagine during times of need. hurricane idalia was no different. last august, when power was still not yet restore and were working to pick up the pieces and survey the damage to their homes and businesses heck, while many of their homes and businesses were still under ania opened their restaurant to anyone who needed a meal or place to spend time over the next couple of days. while they were in no way obligated to serve their community, they stepped up to support their neighbors out of the kindness of their hearts, expecting nothing in. they demonstrate the best of florida's third congressional district and remind me why i'm so terribly proud ofurand our district, especially our resiliency in the face of a natural disaster of this magnitude. on behalf of florida's third congressional district, thank you to the wakem

think theeman: do you --ublicans might consider reconsider their opposition to the barack obama nomination to the supreme court? -- dish ein: ok the possibility of unifying the gop -- that is a matter of choice. if people want to find peace and hang together, they will find a way to do so. if they think that it is better to try and continue the warfare to try to engage and have your faction be dominant under the misguided belief that somehow you can put together a national majority by having only two prongs of the stool rather than three, then we won't unify the gop, but it is a matter of choice from other different factions, and i can't say what the probability is of that, but as far as the possibility i think you have to have a unifying message that forces around a limited, but active role for government to care about people like me. that's essentially what the plea of the trump voter is, that you have not cared about a person like me for decades. and that's always been the weakness of the republican party. republicans do well at saint we care about people, but have a really hard time sa
