Cut off Gaetz for Jim Comey. If that isn't a "gently caress you" I don't know what is.

I feel like Swalwell is enjoying himself here, just reducing Castor to mumbling like Simon from Frisky Dingo.

Really enjoyed Swalwell cutting off Castor with the answer to his own question regarding Trump’s visits with Putin.

I'd like to know this as well. The House Judiciary Committee released a report in impeachment Saturday, but I don't know of anything else that was released then. And that was only a few hundred pages that news organizations certainly had no issue going through the day it was released.

I might be wrong but, both committees could pick a council the democrats picked a different person for both while the republicans picked the same guy for both.
After the first round the council that was acting as witness moved back to his council seat and questioned the witnesses in the next round

quote:

Abortion

Lesko is pro-life.[21] She has proposed legislation to give employers religious exemptions from providing contraceptives in health insurance plans.[22][23][24] She has proposed legislation that would allow health officials to conduct warrantless and unannounced inspections of abortion clinics, like they do for all other health institutions in the state, which critics said undermined the privacy of patients at the clinics.[25]

Economy, taxes and regulation

Lesko has said that she would have voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Republican Party's 2017 tax overhaul.[26] She favors a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, and said that "on the federal level, there has to be a lot of areas where we can cut spending."[26]

In 2017, Lesko championed legislation that would allow payday lenders to provide loans at interest rates as high as 164% a year (the previous maximum was 36%).[27][28]

In 2016, she opposed efforts to increase the minimum wage in Arizona to $10 by 2017 and then to $12 by 2020.[29]

Education

Lesko favors empowering private schools and charter schools.[30]

Environment and energy

Asked at a debate involving seven candidates in January 2018 whether she believed that humans contribute to climate change, Lesko did not raise her hand.[31] After a long pause, she said that the question was "loaded" and added, "Is some of it, maybe, human-caused? Possibly. But certainly not the majority of it. I think it just goes through cycles and it has to do a lot with the sun. So no, I'm not a global warming proponent."[31]

In 2016, Lesko crafted a measure that would give state utilities in Arizona the right to charge separate rates for customers who produced their own energy through solar panels.[32] Lesko crafted the measure with the assistance of utilities.[32]

Gun control

Lesko opposes changes to existing gun laws, saying "I think there's enough laws. The laws need to be enforced."[26]

Health care

Lesko has said she opposes "universal health coverage" and favors repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).[26] She opposed Arizona's expansion of Medicaid coverage and sued former Arizona governor Jan Brewer after she expanded Medicaid.[33]

Immigration

During her 2018 campaign, Lesko made the construction of a border wall on the Mexico border the centerpiece of her campaign, and she pledged to back the Trump administration's hardline positions on border security and immigration reform.[34][35][30]

LGBT rights

Lesko strongly opposes the Equality Act, a bill that would expand the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. She urged Congress members to vote against the bill.[36]

Emphasis mine. Are these "people" hatched? Cloned?

Nadler hosed off for a while Scanlon took over for about 30 minutes then he came back and they didn't move her nametag off the center chair yet.

Ahaha, yeah, talk to Castor then stop him before he's done stumbling over the start of his answer.
