Congress on Steroids

Congress has decided that it is an issue of such national importance, it will hold hearing to look into steroid use among major league baseball players. The ball players allegedly have used performance enhancers to gain an unfair advantage.

Admittedly, politicians do know something about gaining an unfair advantage.

Nevertheless, it seems to me that this should be something that is handled within the league or possibly, if some crime has been committed, by the courts.

We shouldn’t be using taxpayer’s money and elected official’s time to help major league baseball sort out their issues. It is quite amazing that Congress would find time to look into this matter while remaining unwilling to investigate the chain of command that led to the human rights abuses in Iraq and elsewhere.

Congress would do much better to focus on its constitutional duties, starting with keeping a closer eye on the executive branch, something they’ve been neglecting the last few years.
