If you were a defendant wouldn't you want that cross examination to be in front of a jury? You've just been denied that right.
Just another example of the government trying to create a loop hole in an iron clad right.
Same as what they've done with the double jeopardy law exemptions.

You don't have a right to cross-examination in front of a jury. You have a right to a jury and a right to cross-examination. It's not ideal, but no rights are being violated.

If the confrontation clause was an iron clad right for which there can be no exceptions then a murder defendant could just kill the government's star witness and evade justice. But there are obvious exceptions carved out to prevent that scenario from happening. These are not broad exceptions. There's no conspiracy here.

Government creating?
Really?
This isn't new. The concept of hearsay and exceptions have been around since we were still English colonies.
As far as the "double jeoprady," I assume you mean when someone can be charged federally and at the state level for crimes coming from the same incident. The idea of state sovereignty is Constitution 101.
