David,

All throughout this thing, the conservatives have adhered to an illogical equation, something like lying=perjury=impeachment. Well, lying does not necessarily equal perjury and perjury does not necessary equal impeachment. And speaking of quotes:

"It just seems to me too simplistic to condemn all lying. In the murkier grayness of the real world, choices must often be made...I want to supply a little context--a word I have come to love--to this situation."
Henry Hyde (R-Illinois), on admitted perjurer Oliver North in 1987

"For my friends who think perjury, lying and deceit are in some circumstances acceptable and undeserving of punishment, I respectfully disagree. The truth is not trivial. Playing by the rules is not trivial. We are fighting for the rule of law."
Henry Hyde, in 1998
