I'm concerned about trying to overregulate this. We have some members who will ask a question for six and a half minutes. If a witness is deviating in his or her answer from time to time, then frankly--I know it's a bit rude--we just try to get him or her back on track.
If you try to limit the time of the questioning, there are some times when you want a sequence of questions. You want to ask one question, you want to get an answer to that, and then you want to ask another as a follow-up and try to put the puzzle together. So what are you going to have, the clerk with a stopwatch cumulatively adding all this? This is nuts.
