A public citizen cannot demand anything of congress unless the congress feels the need to do something. Waxman should have had sense enough to know that this issue was not a relevant reason to have a hearing. And I do not call Clemens' attorneys idiots to want to clear their clients name.

The funny thing about all of this, it shows why Barry Bonds did not want to make any statements publicly to the media about his situation. Clemens did everything the opposite that Bonds has done and people still believe he used steroids. Clemens is suing his accuser for liable, he came out and took on his accusers in the media and he went to Congress and even was willing to go under oath. And the result is the same. Everyone still thinks Clemens used something that he may not have used at all. This is why I have always said that this probing into the past is a waste of time. All someone has to do is accuse you and you are guilty of sin, no matter the circumstances.
