I'll take a stab at your #12. I think the left is pushing for one, so that the dems. can control what will and won't be on the itinerary. It will be alot less than thorough.

Agreed. The Dems will show the GOP just how a hearing is run when the chairing side wants a particular result.
When the GOP was chairing hearings, they always made the mistake of granting some concession to the Dems prior to starting the hearing. The compromise always gave the Dems enough wiggle room to hyjack the hearings and either flip it or merely stall it and let the clock run out.
The Dems will run tight hearings and will not compromise.
