Democratic Playpen, in The World Of Make Believe

Yesterday Democrats, frustrated from being out of power, held a pretend committee hearing for C-SPAN cameras.

[V]iewers might have noticed that there were no Republicans on the panel, no administration officials at the witness table, and only two Democratic senators in the room. Then, the viewer might have surmised, correctly, that this was not a real committee hearing.

These are frustrating times for the Democratic Party, shut out of power in the White House, the House and the Senate. Democrats don't have power to call hearings, to subpoena witnesses or to move legislation.
