Dems now holding online hearings
Here, for example (via AP)
Of course, in our One Partei State, these aren't official hearings... But it's an interesting innovation nonetheless.
Even more interesting would be to fund a court reporter-style "live text" of the hearings, so we in the blogosphere could link to them in real time. That would make the hearings much more newsworthy, or should I say blogworthy. Very different from just posting the statements of the witnesses; much more dynamic.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Be sure to give each HTML paragraph its own anchor, so we can target the text precisely.
