Where were you in the six years when the Republican Congress rubber-stamped nearly every Bush policy and action?
Why do you consider most (many?) of Democratic oversight hearings of those six years a "fishing expedition" rather than "now is the time..now is the moment" to attempt to understand and act on the ramifications of those six years.
It appears to me that your concern is a bit selective and disingenuous.
