It is not just a national embarrassment but an international one. The decay of Congress parallels the decline in society.
Congressional sideshow
Greg Maresca ——Bio and Archives--January 24, 2025
Too often the only thing Senate confirmation hearings reveal is pretense and hypocrisy. Most memorable was when Sen. Ted Kennedy, who left a woman to drown to salvage his political career sat in judgment of Supreme Court nominee, Clarence Thomas. Kennedy’s tag team partner then was none other than Joe Biden. In more recent times, there was the confirmation hatchet job of another Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh.
Enter Pete Hegseth, a former National Guard Colonel. and a Princeton and Harvard graduate, who is President Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense.
The Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee grilled Hegseth because he wants to “bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense” and where “warfighting, lethality, meritocracy, standards and readiness” would be a priority and how “the strength of our military is our unity — our shared purpose — not our differences.”
A warrior ethos – as it should be.
