Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

In a “media trial”, the only relevant rights are in the first amendment.

But in the Kavanaugh case it is not a criminal prosecution per se. It is a political prosecution.

:: The 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution sets out many rights for defendants during a criminal prosecution ::

Problem is, this is NOT a criminal prosecution. Hearsay, innuendo and fact ALL have the same weight.

This is not a criminal prosecution.

Kavanaugh denied it, there is no corroborating witness.

The Senate should move on to a vote tomorrow, Thursday.

The 6th amendment is not applicable. The nomination process is not a criminal prosecution.

If you want to talk about a sixth amendment abuse, how about Flynn's right to a speedy trial? How many more times can Mueller delay sentencing before Flynn's right to closure is abused?

In the end, ford will probably “chicken out” rather than face possible future perjury charges...not to mention civil suits from K.
