1. Schiff is calling for a Church style commission to investigate

the executive's encroachment on congressional powers.

3. "Church" as in a person, or something attributed to a house of worship?

I can go google, thought this was easier. I'm trying to play catch-up.
I haven't seen one rethug-were there any?

5. No. Look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

I believe the reference was used to communicate the intensity of the proposed inquiry Rep. Schif put forth.

The Church Committee is famed for its tenacity in getting to the bottom of some nefarious CIA and intelligencia shenanigans.

Please, anyone, correct me if my assumption is mistaken.

6. There were.

The IMPEACH thread 1 and 2 have the opening statements. They alternated, D and R. Dems started with more, and I think some have left. Lamar Smith-repuke has been the time keeper and rule enforcer. He keeps shouting "time" and asking to remove people.

2 war criminal apologists on the panel.

8. Church as in the Frank Church investigation of CIA abuses.

2. Started at 10.

I watched until 1, I had to work, I'm back and surprised to see they are still going at it!

Great news!
