Elon basically going head-to-head with Michael Gass from the ULA and holding his own quite well.
- dfc 13y agoHow do two people, neither of which is a senator on the relevant committee, go head-to-head in a Senate hearing?
- thasmin 13y agoSenators are not experts on every topic that they govern over, so they solicit advice from experts.
- josefresco 13y ago...and In this case 2/3 of the experts called were/are competing for the government's business. Edit: Strike that ... 1/3 of the experts is asking to compete for the government's business. 1/3 already have a monopoly for this work. I'd say that's pretty "head to head".
- dfc 13y agoAs long as "head to head" includes interaction mediated by the Senator currently recognized and the chairman of the committee. In my opinion this mediation eviscerates any "direct conflict" between two people who are not senators.
- dfc 13y agoAgreed. However the "experts" are not allowed to address each other individually. Senators ask a question to an expert and the expert addresses his or her answer to the Senator.
- mkohlmyr 13y agoI watched this a few weeks ago when the lawsuit was first publicised. Senator Shelby from Alabama is so infuriatingly transparent. I mean it's so obvious he has no real interest in lowering spending. ULA is effectively a jobs programme for his constituents and the rest of the nation pays dearly for it.
