All Senate hearings seem like theater in the present.

Personally, when i look back at archives from the past and either read the record or watch the recorded hearings from say, the 2008 financial crisis, does it show that it is a little more than that.

It is a forum to voice these positions that are ideally meant for us as a society to learn from.

Politics being politics, it has turned into a forum to raise issues and a sinkhole for precious legislative time.
