“America’s founding fathers wisely designated courts of law as the place where claims of criminal conduct such as sexual assault are resolved. They knew that such serious claims can only be thoroughly investigated and finally resolved by a judge or jury at a fair trial,” Callan wrote.
“Hundreds of years of experience has demonstrated that the truthfulness of witnesses can best be tested in the crucible of cross-examination. Christine Blasey Ford faced no such test before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday,” he added. “She made a very good initial impression but failed to fill in the troubling gaps in her story.”
He contrasted Ford’s inability to corroborate many of her claims with the committee’s “felony penalty” statements obtained from three witnesses who said they knew nothing about the incident.
“Effective cross-examination of a critical witness cannot be conducted in five-minute segments interrupted by senators giving speeches praising the honesty and courage of the witness,” Callan wrote. “This was not a serious examination of the truthfulness of Ford or Kavanaugh but a staged spectacle.”
