the power and destructive potential of a hurricane is measured on what's known as the saffir-simpson scale. the scale was introduced in 1973 by a construction engineer& called herbert saffir and robert simpson, then director of the us national hurricane center in miami, florida. it grades hurricanes in ascending order from one to five. a hurricane at the bottom of the scale will cause minor damage such as bringing down power lines or small light structures. however, a category five hurricane can generate winds exceeding 150 miles-an-hour and tidal storm surges up to 20 feet high. such a hurricane has the power to devastate cities, flood vast areas of land and kill thousands of people. thankfully a category five hurricane is a rare event. but when one does strike the result is truly terrifying. on august 23rd 1992 nearly one million people started fleeing inland from the east coast of south florida. a massive hurricane was just a few miles offshore, heading in from the north atlantic ocean via the bahamas. with meteorologists predicting it would make landfall as a category five hurric

saffire, price, garment and shuls portrayed nixon as pragmatic in his approach to the south and school desegregation. the president rode white southern backlash to re-election in 1972 while at the same time doing more to desegregate southern schools than any previous president. one thing the nixonian accounts had in common, none of the memoirists, with perhaps the exception of garment, made civil rights the tom nant or lead subject in their books. the third school of thought the scholarly revision of the civil rights policies of nixon had its origins in the 1980s and 1990s and first decade of the 21st century. why did it happen? well, documents opened. tempers and passions cooled at least somewhat. there was a wistful longing for liberal policies after the conservative administrations of ronald reagan and george bush the first and the moderate administrations that bracketed them by democrats jimmy carter and bill clinton. and in domestic policy in general and in civil rights policy in particular, here was an opportunity to say something fresh about the nixon presidency. major works in

firefighters, to avoid layoffs, as well as to hire new firefighters as is the usual requirement under the saffir program. has this made a difference in houston? has this made a difficulty difference in other situations that you would like us to look at? and do you think this waiver is necessary again in 2013? >> well, it's made a difference. less so in houston as opposed to other municipalities. the waivers, i know there is some concern temporary waivers that seem to be permanent, because we're coming back and saying we need those waivers again. i think first we have to look at it in the light of why those waivers were initially put in place and what they're there for. initially, you know, when this happened, it was 2002, and nobody realized the economic situation that we would be in over the last few years. nobody would predict the great recession. and there were safeguards that were put in place in these grants that would protect -- that would protect the process of supplementing and not supplanting municipalities' responsibility to staff their departments. so to go forward, yeah, we need to k

>> shannon: several times today that justice saffir-simpson scale referred to this as the heart of theaid if you take that out, the rest can't survive. >> obama administration might not have put that it way, but they put it close together and said you can't ask the insurance companies to do all of these things like get rid of the been a on preexisting conditions or make sure you are not charging one group of people more than another, if you get rid of the mandate. the mandate would even by the obama administration admission get rid of a lot of it. >> shannon: it would. the government arguing the position. there were key portions that would fall if the mandate goes. the court took unusual step of putting in a third attorney, outside force to argue that the law could survive. she has water. she is doing okay. but charles, you think that they take -- assuming they take down the mandate, which they for the devil's advocate purposes they said it would happen. for purposes of this argument. do you think there is any way that the justices come together to keep the law intact? i think not. man
