Naive to say the least. Mell Watt, one of congressmen present at the first hearing admitted to not knowing what a dividend was, and voted to allow banks to gamble on chaotic markets causing the 2008 crash. Now he's admitting to "not knowing anything about this technology" and saying "im no nerd, but..." and then continues to say that Issa was just wrong, and his experts are wrong, experts which include google. If you don't understand what you're voting on you're supposed to abstain.

Can I just point out, there is no way google and any of their experts are going to be neutral in this. Google has everything to lose and nothing to gain from stricter copyright policing. Just because someone is an expert doesn't mean they are neutral. I'm sure there would have been very many financial 'experts' from the banks arguing why the banks needed the freedom to do what they did...

I will agree to an extent with your point. An expert's neutrality can often be questioned. However, I bet you that the experts some in congress are relying on, write their opinions down on green pieces of paper with numbers on them.
