I believe taxcontrol is correct. The 6th Amendment does not apply. True, crimes are being discussed here. But this is not a criminal trial. Kavenaugh is not under threat of fine or imprisonment.
Criminal trial, only.
Personally, I think anybody can accuse anyone of anything; *ONLY* what is returned in a court of law should matter.
I’m willing to give even the slimiest Democrat this same benefit of the doubt- *ANY* accusation should be proved or the accuser humiliated, left or right, a person I like or a person I loath.
Everything is always knowable (at least anything worth making a decision on), that which can’t be measured doesn’t matter as far as I am concerned.
Date, time, place, first hand witnesses/photographic proof or STFU -be they Dem or Republican.
