3. Changing the subject
I've been trying to follow the Senate hearings, live on the Internet.

Seems to me several of the speakers are "hijacking" the hearings, by changing the subject.

The subject SHOULD BE eliminating the SECRET HOLD.

They have switched it to defending the filibuster. . .

NOT THE SAME THING.

Any comments?

4. The hearing is called > >
"Examining the Filibuster: Silent Filibusters, Holds and the Senate Confirmation Process".
This is the third hearing they've had on this subject and I don't know if there will be more.
