How will they be remembered?
Much of it will depend on what they do, I suppose?
They are about the only buffer the American people have at this moment between the lawless autocrats and the continuation of democracy in this country, in my opinion.

Let us hope they have the stamina and the courage to keep politics out of their hearings and the wisdom to understand their role in the saving of our democracy.
