Can anyone explain this "minority hearing day?" I just...

... caught Repub congresswoman reading from some document, presumably house rules, saying such a thing was required if requested. I have no doubt there's a reason why such a thing has not happened, but I'm just curious as to what it is. I couldn't listen to most of the hearing.

If it's total BS, I wish Nadler or someone would squash it flat. People listening/watching are going to think it's being blown off.

They are claiming they have the right under the rules to a day of hearings with witnesses they call.

Not so much.

The rules are whatever the majority votes they are. Nadler won;t take a vote until after the articles are announced. The vote will be a thumbs down.

Oh the outrage.
