out, an equal number of republicans and democrats on the panel, some of the most partisan republicans on this committee always going to defend clarence thomas no matter what comes out. policy experts and academics testifying, everybody disagreeing what's needed and not, and then off lot of coverage that suggests it was a partisan bicker fest, what would be better would be hearings where there's actually findings of fact and investigative processes afoot, that's what drove the january 6th investigation that there was new information arising out of the hearings. and so if you had subpoenas being issued, witnesses being called in, it would be very hard for these republicans to just knee-jerk complain this is a partisan process when there's new revelations coming out from the committee's work. i hope that there's investigative proceedings to this and not hearings like the ones today. >> right. it's a really important point. they can't subpoena harlan crow unless the republicans decide to vote for that and based on what we saw today that doesn't seem likely. melissa and brian, thank you so much for starting us off on this story.
