The hearings (I've been getting my info from here and other places on the Web - won't watch them because I know the TV will be toast) have rammed home the fact that I already knew... that the people running this country (those that write and pass laws) are among the most amoral, incompetent, petty, power hungry and least qualified to be in the positions they hold.
NOTHING they do is about making this country work, about making this nation a better place for its citizens. It's all about collecting and maintaining power. It's all about pushing agendas that have nothing whatsoever to do (and in many cases directly contradictory) to the Constitution which they SWORE AN OATH to uphold.
If the Revolution came today, 99% of those in D.C. would be first against the wall.
