		As a member of the Judiciary Committee, Conyers is the only member of Congress ever to have sat through two impeachment hearings – one for Richard Nixon, which he strongly supported, the other for Bill Clinton, which he vigorously opposed.
		In letters to the House ethics committee, the FBI, and the U.S. attorney's office, they alleged that Conyers demanded that aides work on several local and state campaigns (including his wife's failed campaign for state Senate) and forced them to baby-sit and chauffeur his children.
		The committee has since hired a staff director and a team of investigators and is evaluating which investigations to pursue, including the Conyers matter.

		The committee itself was so memorable from those past hearings that its more recent confirmation battles have been like reunions of a once-popular TV show; part of the interest is in finding out how the cast has aged and changed.
		This consistency through the decades has made the Judiciary Committee the Dorian Gray of American politics, aging in place and at the same time telling us something about the country and how it's evolved over the decades.
		And while Alito maintained a placid demeanor, the committee was a perfect illustration of the tensions that have come to define the Senate -- between the more collegial older generation and the more aggressive younger senators, and between razor-sharp partisans of both parties.

	American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Slams Senate Judiciary Committee’s Approval of NSA Spying Bills
