Charles - before you make "legal" arguments, you should get a little more exposure to the law:

"Every other divorce case could result in the exact same criminal prosecutions if this were to be allowed." Are you implying judges are not now referring perjury to DA's if it occurs in a civil divorce deposition or in a proceeding in their court? Nonsense. I know they will usually offer the potential perjurer the opportunity to recant or correct their testimony, and if that doesn't happen, they usually get a warning from the court which sometimes is accompanied with a night in the clink to "think it over." When the accused continues to stand behind a lie, the court will refer it as a separate case to the DA for investigation.

"I believe that the Supreme court may eventually throw these out if it gets to that, because . . . " Separation of powers doctrines specify the supreme court has no jurisdiction over the results of a Senate impeachment trial.

". . . they are not crimes yet. They become crimes upon conviction," Wrong. A crime is a crime. He is not yet a "convicted criminal" but the acts were crimes. I know that is sentence parsing, but it further demonstrates your apparent misunderstanding of the law and the "the fine points of due process."

Mr. K.
