I hope you're right, but believe you're too trusting. This hearing, like so many in Washington, is nothing but a sham. As usual, the Dems are youthful-looking, vigorous, strident partisan attack dogs (as former members of the Cliton admin, Ben-Veniste and Gorelick have blatant conflicts of interest and shouldn't even be on the committee). Meanwhile, the Reps are old, tired, weak, go-along-to-get-along milquetoasts who look like they'd rather be anywhere else except in that hearing room.
As the usual Washington partisan food-fights go, this one isn't even close to being an equal playing field.
