At a recent congressional hearing, the Republicans made a show of dictatorship force--or maybe we should be kind and just say they showed how their party is not at all in tune with the true meaning of democracy.
As for arguments the witness was not qualified, read the following:
Sandra Fluke is a third-year law student at Georgetown University Law Center and past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice.
So why was she not qualified?
Because she did not agree with the Republicans conducting the hearing.
Below are three links--the first has a transcripted interview with Ms. Fluke (scroll down once you open the link). The other two links are from news sources.
