A contract law teacher(also lawyer) I had said that courtroom stuff isn't exciting or dramatic like what we see in TV shows and in truth it's kind of boring by just about everyone's standards.
Watching a of bit cspan, it's the same thing for the legislative branch. . .and maybe that's why they say or do the things they do to stir up excitement or drama because if they didn't then maybe The People would realize how unimportant the people in the legislative branch really are.
