What is a Congressional Hearing?

A hearing is a meeting or session of a Senate, House, joint, or special committee of Congress, usually open to the public, to obtain information and opinions on proposed legislation, conduct an investigation, or evaluate/oversee the activities of a government department or the implementation of a Federal law. In addition, hearings may also be purely exploratory in nature, providing testimony and data about topics of current interest.

It's one side trying to make the other look bad so their constituents can stroke off and 'believe things are getting done' and 'a new day is coming.'

You gotta love these things, right? We get a good soundbite. A Congressman, 99% of the time a D-bag, gets to sound stupid and biased on national TV, and then we move on.

Does anyone here watch this political theater outside of Youtube clips?
