Congress Demanded Public Hearings and Has Not Scheduled Any

TL;DR

Six Republicans and twelve Democrats have demanded public hearings on the Iran war — no committee has scheduled one.

MSM Perspective

The Hill reported hearing demands as individual statements without noting the gap between demands and scheduling.

X Perspective

X counted: 18 members of Congress have demanded hearings. Zero hearings scheduled. The demand is the performance.

Eighteen members of Congress — six Republicans and twelve Democrats — have now publicly called for open hearings on the scope, authorization, and objectives of the Iran war. No committee in either chamber has scheduled one. [1]

The demand without the scheduling is a recognizable pattern: elected officials express concern in statements and then fail to use the procedural tools they control to act on it. Hearings do not require administration cooperation. They require a committee chair to put them on the calendar.

[2] We've demanded public hearings. Both parties. Armed Services chairs on both sides. Still no hearings scheduled. The Senate is performing concern, not exercising oversight. https://x.com/RepRoKhanna/status/1905706855896547328
