There are plenty of other things they could be doing with their time but the majority of them are on issues so divided along party lines that nothing will actually be accomplished with the time spent on that. And even if they accomplish something Bush can just step in and veto it. At least in this they are making some progress. It's a big waste of time no doubt but not as big a waste of time as most of what they normally waste their time on.

Whether he perjured himself is beside the point, IMO. I don't think he should have been up before congress on this issue to even have a chance to perjure himself. This is not a congressional issue. If this was something where they could say that everyone that is found to have used it will go to jail or be banned from the game, then that would be something different. But if every single person mentioned in the Mitchell report came out and said "yes, I did it"..........then what? Nothing. So I don't see the point of the report or the point of the hearings. The report just told us what half of us believed already.
