Whats the point of a senate hearing?

218 viewsOther

So I have seen senate hearings before. But they seem like informal meetings where they ask for info from these organizations.

Is there any weight to them? Could they really just stone wall the senate and not really give a damn?

They have to respond to a summons, but are they held responsible for perjury? And can the senate really do anything if they don’t like something?

I don’t understand the point of it, if normally there is a court and legal system for this.

Politicians get to grandstand. They get to ask questions that make them look really serious, and ramble on for minutes, and then ask typically silly questions but don’t let the responder give complex answers…
