    It’s political theater, a pleasant distraction where Democrats and Republicans can sit on the same committee and pretend that the government is a functional entity. No one on the committee is going to have it used against them in campaign ads, and committee members get paid a per diem for sitting in and asking questions (which is one of the reasons why congressmen want committee assignments so much)
