I'm glad they are having a hearing, but when you look at the names above the first thing that comes to your mind is AMNESTY. Only a few on this list are actually known to stand up against illegal aliens like the smuggler who the two Agents wrestled with and then ended up shooting before he fled.
Let's just hope that they look at the facts of the case, the evidence and the witness testimony and actually do it without a bias against Border Patrol Agents who were helping to keep out the illegal aliens some of these member so dearly love.
