Great title for the hearing. Ironic because Cruz doesn't want an "open discussion" about anything. I suspect the main attraction will be Cruz shouting loudly enough for primary voters to hear him.
 
Well, there goes another couple $million down the ****ter.

To the contrary, the AGW alarmist position is trumpeted daily through the news media.
I strongly suspect if a Dr. James Hansen, or Dr. Michale Mann asked to be a witness, they would be allowed.
