Michael,

From the article you posted by Mark R. Levin <In the end, little benefit will come from these hearings. They afford little more than the sorry spectacle of public officials abusing the public's trust in the name of the public interest. >>

Excuse me for butting in to your discussion with James, Michael, but Levin is absolutely correct. Nothing will be gained by these hearings when such opportunities for hypocritical grandstanding abound.

It should be a dispassionate Justice Department, providing they can raise a working quorum of individuals not associated with Enron, who should seek indictments; and prosecutors, judges and juries who should get to the bottom of this sorry scandal.

But, please allow me to tender a suggestion re the demagogues in Congress. As most all elected officials are attorneys I think we should we should put a ten year moratorium prohibiting anyone who has graduated from law school from running for public office all the way from dog catcher to president.

What do you think?
