Ukraine Whistleblower Suddenly Won’t Testify; Lawyers Break Negotiations Amid New Revelations

Sixth Amendment to the Constitution? Who cares about that old rag created by a bunch of long-dead white men? Everybody knows it is archaic and doesn’t apply to our modern times.

The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him." Generally, the right is to have a face-to-face confrontation with witnesses who are offering testimonial evidence against the accused in the form of cross-examination during a trial.
