House Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats will have a rare moment in the spotlight Friday at a hearing they demanded on the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.
Approval of the Alberta-to-Texas pipeline has risen to the top of Republicans’ agenda. But Democrats will work at the hearing to undercut GOP claims about the benefits of the pipeline and express their support for President Obama’s decision to reject the project.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the committee, invited several witnesses to the hearing, including Randall Thompson, a Nebraska rancher, and retired Brig. Gen. Steven Anderson. Both Thompson and Anderson are vocal opponents of the pipeline.
Waxman also secured two Obama administration witnesses who are expected to criticize Rep. Lee Terry's (R-Neb.) bill that requires a permit for the pipeline.

“at a hearing they demanded”
I thought the U.S. House was controlled by the “R”’s. How do the “D”’s get to “demand” anything?
It's not fair, I know you just want dirty water and filthy air, and, and, and there are so many animals in those pictures, that they are probably going to starve to death.
I drove to Prudhoe Bay with my mother in July, 1980 to visit my father. Mom and Dad had a mining claim north of the checkpoint at Dietrich allowing us to drive all the way to Prudhoe Bay once we passed the checkpoint. The only caribou we saw were laying in the shade of the pipeline. We saw one moose running down the road in front of the hotel at Prudhoe Bay.
cool!
Last week Nostrilus Waxman demanded that the Koch brothers appear for a hearing. The deciding speaker told him to pound sand
How many (for example) Arizona ranchers whose land has been destroyed by illegal immigrants have ever been called before Congress?
Nostrilus Waxman? James Carville?
I an of the opinion that both these guys could be part of a alien race.
