How to Question a Witness


The funny guy knows his stuff.
Note the style: minimal speechmaking, found the premise of the employers' argument, and attacked it ruthlessly with short, pointed questions.  And wouldn't let him waffle, or run out the clock.  The whole thing was decidedly un-senatorial.  (Taking the witness to task over a probable typo is a bit much, and I'll bet whoever drafted that testimony caught hell back at the office.  Nonetheless, the way the premise was dismantled was beautiful).

Franken for SCOTUS?
