I watched a little bit of that hearing with Jeff Sessions this morning. What a waste of taxpayer money!
Everybody gets 5 minutes and those people won't quit babbling 'til their 5 mins is up. They start thanking everybody for being there and if there's a minute left it's like ...."Thank Jesus for creating me 67 years ago..." What a bunch of blowhards!!

Problem is people hate "congress" they love their incumbent representatives. Incumbents keep getting re elected and shockingly congress doesn't improve. We need term limits.

im not familiar with that. does it have to do with jerry mandering?

Somewhat, in heavily Gerrymandered districts incumbents often run unopposed. I'd have to search for the stats but in general incumbents have around a 85% chance of re-election. Name recognition perhaps, people know their own representative and think they do a good job, it's all those other congress members that are the problem.

Powerful Dem Rep. John Conyers hit by report on sexual conduct with ex-staffers

 

[moreluck]

Conyer's son is already familiar with the politician ways....

"The younger, Conyers, 27, would be a first-time political candidate. But has already been connected to an ethics issue, according to the Detroit Free Press. In 2010, the congressman had to reimburse the Treasury Department $5,682 for his son’s misuse of a taxpayer-funded Cadillac Escalade, the paper reports."
