unwillingness is not. and the senate can reject a president's nominee either by holding up a down vote or fi filibustering the vote or doing absolutely nothing. why do we know that? because under article one, all branchs are both houses are congress are able to organize themselves as they see fit. with two exceptions only. one is article 4 section 4, which is very significant. that's where three days come from. because you want to ensure that neither branch is able yo unilaterally to interrupt the flow of legislative business, which includes in the senate's case campus advice and consent. i've not heard anybody mention that gives the president's only constitutionally permissible tool to impact how congress organizes itself, as far as separations. and what does it say? on an extraordinary caution in both houses and either of them and a case of disagreement with respect to a time of adjournment can we adjourn them. that is the only way two branchs disagree about adjournment and i can get into why there's not

and the unwillingness of the parties to try and figure out how you can reach any common ground, even to lay out markers that are so far apart is a sign of a different time. >> woodruff: and the prospect for anything changing. >> well, in december at the end of december after the election but before a president is inaugurated we have a perfect storm. we have all the bush tax cuts expiring. the deal that we reached on the payroll tax cut and is expiring. we have the sequesters taking effect and possibly another debt limit vote. all hell could break loose in december and maybe that results in a jar and people do something or maybe it gets even worse than it looks. >> woodruff: a lot to look forward to. norman ornstein, thank you very much. >> thank you, udy. >> ifill: next, the author of a new bestseller talks with newshour economics correspondent paul solman about the economic plight and social values of working-class americans. the book is already receiving a heated reception. the discussion is part of paul's ongoing reporting, "making sense of financial news." >> it's not when you sa

the key sticking point has been the unwillingness of the republicans to raise the revenue for transportation so we are hopeful that this matter will be resolved and that it will be resolved quickly. as you can probably see in the agenda, we have a presentation on county transportation authority projects in district 1 and 11. this is a follow up to something that i promised earlier and is important for us to do is that here after the county transportation authority level that we have a discussion about different projects that the transportation authority is funding in the various districts and the first presentation will focus on justice one at 11 and next week we hear on districts to and 10. i would like to thank the staff for their work in making this happen and our hope is that as we proceed with these kinds of discussions that we will have a better better of what is happening on the ground and the different projects that are benefiting our various communities. that is the report and is there any public comment or questions on this? seeing none come out public comment is closed. >> item nu

it was my unwillingness to give up my car. i could have gotten out of my car and walked home. i'm driving i thought it would be easier if i had walked. on the freeway? this person out of his truck survived. he got out and waited for help. there are a lot of people who have certain skills will get to them. how about the bay bridge? if you have to drive after, drive slow. 5-10 miles per hour. look ahead to see if the roads are difficult to maneuver. even if you have a motorcycle it's hard to drive around this area. sometimes it's easy to walk than to drive off. the fifth, 11 people died, 6 were here. they were waiting for the family members to get off. it was by a masonry building with glass. have emergency supply kit. at least 3. one for home, work one for the car. emergency supply kit you want one for home you want for 5 days. our old standard was 3. after hurricane katrina we participate 5 days. for work a lot of work places have supplies. make sure they do. if they don't keep one for yourself and may be your coworkers. a first aid kit a flashlight any pair of shoes in case y

most governors and mayors whose communities host nuclear plants have expressed an unwillingness to okay restarts following the pufukushima daiichi meltdowns. some are also skeptical because many are on a pre-fukushima standard. >> translator: we can't begin discussing whether to start the ohi plant unless we come up with new standards based on what they learned from the fukushima accident. >> many are pressuring the government to fire up the reactors. people are watching how noda will strike a balance between big businesses and public opinion. >>> now we go to bangkok to find out what's making headlines in the region. >> we start in afghanistan where the u.s. government has paid cash compensation to victims of a shooting spree by an american soldier earlier this month. an afghan official says the families received $50,000 for each person killed. nhk world has more. >> reporter: afghan president hamid karzai invited families of the victims to his office. he announced his intention to limit the activities of nato-led forces. meanwhile, the taliban is calling on afghans to retaliate agains

there is no reason except complacency and an unwillingness of women to do what was done in the early part of the 20th- century, which made it possible for all of us to be sitting on this platform today. tavis: the numbers are clear. women make up the majority of americans who are in poverty. i want to come to cecilia firethunder -- i love saying that name. dr. west and i took the party tour around the country last year. we started on african-american reservation. we asked them about how the recession had impacted them. do you know what the women said to us? "what recession? it has always been this way for us on the reservation." cecilia firethunder was a single mom back in the day. she goes on to become a nurse so she can take care for kids. she runs for office and becomes the first woman to be the president of the oglala sioux tribe. it is a wonderful story of single mothers exercising their own agency. when dr. malveauz -- malveaux says we do not keep track of what goes on on the reservation, cecilia firethunder, tell me what it is like for the recession means nothing because it is

last explicable, his unwillingness after his presidency to incorporate his environmental achievements or administration's environmental achievements into his legacy, never mentioned it, odd for a guy so concerned with framing his legacy which is why i think flippant's book is so important because it beings on the hisoriography of wilson and the policy and part of that and there is indeed a lot to talk about and i can't possibly get into all, air pollution, water pollution, natural resources, parks, wilderness, pesticides, the epa, the national environment, the policy act, take your pick. and so my effort to deemphasize nixon in talking about this really what i want to avoid doing is peering into nixon's soul. no good comes of peering into nixon's soul, although we're very tempted to do it, because so much was accomplished on his watch and we want to know, did he really mean it, because then of course, after 1971, he turns around and pulls the rug out from under and kind of turns against the environment, so what's going on, and i guess the point i want to make is that nixon's true feel

there was a lot of unwillingness and resistance even to going along with tougher sanctions. from the beginning, we have had a two-track policy, pressure and engageme engagement. as we talk today, the pressure is ratcheting up. we're working to aggressively implementing the sanctions, we this position from the recent report by the international atomic energy agency pointing out all of the suspicions and questions about iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. and we have seen finally a response from iran that they're willing to discuss their nuclear weapons program with the p-5 plus one. so we think that the sanctions are affecting the thinking of the iranians in the leadership. but we have to remain vigilant. we have to keep the pressure on. >> thank you very much. i got a question and answer in 44 seconds. >> or you could yield back and give others more time as i did. >> all right. well, that appeal, too. >> thank you, sir. thank you. and being the wise legislator that he is, dr. paul, elected to stay here. and sow gets to ask his question. congressman paul of texas is recognized

this--- this includes unwillingness to move forward on the long term peace that involves those particular piers. that changes the framework of bringing the events forward. i want to emphasize there is still a commitment on all sides to bring the america's cup event to san francisco in 2012 and 2013. as noted, we would like to come back to this body on march 20 with a revised set of agreements. what we are doing now is looking at what was in effect a subset of what was before you already, the same framework established in the house to the new agreement, where if improvements are made by the event authority they would be reimbursed through either payments or assets. we are looking at what their space needs are in relation to moving the team bases to pier 80, as well if anything changes in terms of permit and mitigation measures, so we can come to you with a clear statement on the cost of doing events and how we move forward on most cost effectively and efficiently paying those costs back. our goal would be to lodge a revised set of documents with the board on march 13 and move to a hearing

less explicable, i think, is his unwillingness after his presidency to incorporate his environmental achievements or his administration's environmental achievements into his legacy. he just really never mentioned it. this is a little odd for a guy who was so concerned with framing his legacy. which is why, i think, flippant's book is so important. it builds on the his tor 0gy of john hoff and others who see the more akivity domestic policy and see it as part of that. there is, indeed, a lot to talk about. i can't get into all, air pollution, water pollution, natural resources, parks, wilderness, pesticides, the epa, the national environmental policy act, take your pick. so my effort to de-emphasize nixon in talking about this, really what i want to avoid doing is peering into nixon's soul. no good comes of peering into nixon's soul. although we're very tempted to do it. because so much was accomplished on his watch. and we want to know, did he really mean it? because then, of course, after 1971, he turns around and pulls the rug out from under it and kind of turns against the environ

to the republicans for moments given rush limbaugh's comments today and the republicans kind of unwillingness to really call that out they they are overreaching tremendously right now and same republicans know that this is going to be disastrous in the coming election now often the other move for republicans is self they've admitted to themselves that they realize that these far right positions on sex and women and family and gender are not popular and they haven't in many elections they kind of organize under the radar often in a different guise. to put people in office that say say they're running on jobs or running on the deficit are really totally lost stock and barrel in in sync with these sexual fundamentalists so the tea party for example was little more than a rebranding of the christian right you know they fooled the media and they fall democrats for about a year but if we look at what they did in office and we look at who they clean up this it's pretty clear that it's the usual suspects from the religious right behind it and so how does how is that how does that play out is that is

my unwillingness to buy an electric car is forcing up the price of an lech drik car. if more demanded an electric car -- >> this is very different, mr. clement and it's different because of the nature of the let care service that you are entitled to health care when you go an emergency room, when you go to a doctor, even if you can't pay for it. so the difference between your hypotheticals and the real case is the problem of uncompensated care. >> well, justice kagan, if i don't buy a car and somebody goes on welfare, i'm going to pay for that, also. there's a real disconnect between the focus on what makes this different and the statute that congress passed. if all we were concerned about is the cost sharing that took place because of uncompensated care in emergency rooms, presumably we'd have before us a statute that only addressed emergency care in catastrophic insurance coverage, but it covers everything. soup to nuts and all sorts of other thing. that gets at the idea that there's two kinds of cost shifting going on here's one is the concern about emergency care

three years ago, we did not have that consensus in the international community, there was a lot of unwillingness and resistance in going along with tougher sanctions, from the beginning we had a two track policy, pressure and engagement. and as we talk today the pressure is rachietly up, we ar working to implement the sanctions and and we have strong support for these sanctions by the international atomic energy agency and we have seen finally a response from iran that they are willing to discuss their nuclear weapons program with the p-5 plus one. so we think the sanction s are effecting the thinking of the iranians in the leadership. but, we have to remain vigilant and keep the pressure on. >> thank you very much. i think i can get a question and answer in 44 seconds? >> or you could yield back and give more time to others like i did. >> and being the wise legislator that he did, dr. paul elected to say here, so he gets to ask his question. i have learned not to say anything negative about ron paul. >> thank you. welcome madam secretary. i do want to get your comments a bit about the stir that

>> not only is it frustrating, that very fact, there is an unwillingness to adopt a plan and to put a plan in place to resolve t. that's all we are saying. we don't solve the problem overnight. rome wasn't built in a day or burned in a day. we are saying, adopt our plan so we can get about the business of saying, there is a certainty of focus that we're going to address the problem and then grow the economy. but, you know, the unwilling tons say we need a plan in place, that's what is so frustrating. and we are going to try again. but some of the things, i think the president himself said and i know he told me, back almost a year ago, a little bit more, there are going to be things left up to the election. that's what the election's going to be about. it's going to be about who is best put to lead this country, to grow the economy, get people back to work and get the fiscal situation straight here in washington. >> greta: thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> >> greta: coming up, stephen chu and the honor system. what grade does he give himself for the way he has controlled gas prices? the
