Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano had a suggestion for Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to compel Christine Blasey Ford to testify: subpoena her.

Napolitano’s comments come after Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley‘s deadline of Friday for Ford to respond to the Committee’s request for her to testify about her allegations against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The analyst argued that Kavanaugh does not have to respond to Ford’s allegations as they stand, articulated only in a Washington Post article.

“If she didn’t show up, if she didn’t articulate her allegations against him, there would be no obligation on his part to respond,” Napolitano said.

He continued: “Now, he is dying to say ‘I don’t know what she is accusing me of, I wasn’t there, it didn’t happen.’ But it is dangerous to deny before — particularly under oath — before the allegation is made.”

“So I have a suggestion, if I may, for Senator Grassley and company: Subpoena her.”

“Woah!” Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy reacted.

“She decided to go to the press,” Napolitano said, “maybe reluctantly. She voluntarily spoke to the Washington Post.”
