At a House Judiciary Committee hearing, the disgraced former special counsel claimed the Sixth Amendment’s speedy trial right belongs not just to the accused, but to the state and the public.
That assertion stunned lawmakers because it flatly contradicts the text, history, and Supreme Court precedent.
The Sixth Amendment is a shield for defendants, not a turbocharger for prosecutors on an election clock.
Smith’s testimony didn’t just misstate the law—it exposed a dangerous willingness to twist constitutional rights into political weapons.
Good Night, Patriots!
