Let’s spend weeks having committee hearings. It reminds me of the “grillings” of the Wall Street bankers and the car company executives: a lot of posturing and blowing smoke. In the end, no conclusions, and no agenda for reform. A lot of wasted time and taxpayer dollars.
Harley, the Senate represents the people just as much as the House does. They are elected differently, their terms are longer and their rules are different, but the Constitution grants them equal status. Just because you side with the House Majority and the Senate can’t be gerrymandered doesn’t make the Senate any less representative.
The Medicare Part D rollout had lots of problems too.In that case, the Republicans called for people to be patient and give the government time to work out the kinks.I wonder what the difference is now?
Harley, I wasn’t talking about what used to be. I was talking about the last 100 years. You may not like the 17th Amendment, but it is the law. And when I wrote to them with an issue a few years ago, I got a response from the offices of both Senators, and nothing, not even an acknowledgement, from my House Representative. I guess I didn’t fit the gerrymandered profile.
Like the security to keep WWII veterans from memorials? ..or was that Obozo to make it as painful as possible knowing the Kool Aid contingent would “drink” it up and adore him for it.

“…hearings came to no conclusion…under his administration…” because there was nothing to find, other than another republican witch hunt.
