Seriously. I interned on The Hill and it is true that even interns need passes to get into a hearing. Passes that can only be granted by members of Congress. So someone had to give passes to the protesters. Disgusting.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but inside a committee hearing is not the place for disruptive protesting. Some decorum needs to be maintained or our government will dissolve into chaos.

The Democrats have absolutely betrayed us. We voted them into power on an antiwar mandate and they have refused to confront Bush and to listen to the constituency that put them into power. They have given Bush all the funding he’s asked for. They’ve wasted our time with these non-binding resolutions. They actually seem to be making this sick political calculation that if they just let Bush hang himself for another year that will just shore up their victory even more come next election. This is disgusting, you know, we’re talking about the lives of American and Iraqi people on the line here. Of course they are letting the protesters in because they want Bush to look as bad as possible. It is all sick - RON PAUL 2008! -

I was under the impression you could stand in line for a seat like the many other official public functions that operate that way.
but I am uncertain so now I will research it.
Edit- Here is a link to the senate page regarding passes.

As I'm sure you already know, protesters from the left and the right have managed to get into hearing rooms in the past.

No, remember the Democrats have yet to defund or stop the war.
Next thing you'll be saying is that 9/11 was an inside job...by the Democrats.

No. How did those people help the Democrats -- they made the antiwar people look bad in the eyes of your average american.

No doubt about it. They don't want the hearings because it may make people think about the surge rather then hate it. Plus they gives passes to people who support them but who unto those who don't or stop supporting them.

Its very possible, but it wouldn't be the first time protestors have interfered in 1st amendment rights.
