on the phone, randy sawyer, contra costa hazardous materials director. good to talk to you again. what's happened this time at this refinery? >> they had a partial power outage, the refinery, and part of the refinery affected by the power outage. they sent their excess gas flare to burn off. and when it originated there was a lot of gas and smoke that was associated with it. we just now last five minutes downgraded the incident to where we just lifted the health advisory. >> we have video from one flare and some steam. last october i think the previous one at this same refinery we're showing some of that video. this doesn't seem to compare? >> it doesn't. they had a full outage there at that time. they lost all their steam at the same time. this one, they just had a partial outage and didn't lose the steam. the steam -- when it goes to the flare, helps burn offer the gas so you don't get as much smoke. >> put the health danger in perspective, too. last time it was a shelter in place. what do we have this time? >> originally we had a health advisory where people with pre- existing

on behalf of myself and supervisor campos for the late randy. it is hard to imagine that he was only here 22 years when you look at the magnitude of what he has contributed to san francisco. he achieved his bachelor's degree at cornell and a master's degree at harvard. he met his partner when they were both volunteers. randy became very much involved with the legislative efforts for civil-rights as well as someone who is on the founding organization and also having served on the human rights campaign board of governors. he distinguished himself with his involvement in the care council overseeing federal funding for hiv and aids services. he had just recently rejoined the council. he was also co-chair of the hepatitis c task force. he was immortalized on december 1 when laura thomas and others spoke about his recent passing and how much he contributed to san francisco. he was well known to have a much loved partner, and they were wedded at city hall by the assemblymen. also in 1998, they adopted their beagle darwin. he became involved in legal re

and randy barnett. you were in pensacola florida for a 20-state class-action lawsuit against the health care bill. the nexus of this is the commerce clause of" the congress shall have the power to regulate among several states." that was the argument that was used in virginia to rule against the aspect of health care law. can you explain? guest: the congress shall have power to regulate among several states and with the indian tribes. one thing that john marshall said in his argument about the commerce clause with that the enumeration of these three different commerce clauses implies that there is something that congress can't reach. the commerce clause that you read has its limits. this case is about if there are limits left of the commerce clause. host: going back to when the bill was passed, when people say one vote does not matter, scott brown became the center for the massachusetts and the language in the health care bill changed to get support that was not there originally. can you comment on that
