Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says Senate Republicans picked the wrong person to question Christine Blasey Ford in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday about her sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The Republican majority on the panel has selected Arizona county sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell for the job, but the issue with her, according to Dershowitz, is she likely lacks experience in cross-examination.
