I need a refresher. Show me where in the statutes is says that perjury is a marital issue?PERJURY - When a person, having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the U.S. authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true; 18 USC In order for a person to be found guilty of perjury the government must prove: the person testified under oath before [e.g., the grand jury]; at least one particular statement was false; and the person knew at the time the testimony was false. The testimony of one witness is not enough to support a finding that the testimony was false. There must be additional evidence, either the testimony of another person or other evidence, which tends to support the testimony of falsity. The other evidence, standing alone, need not convince that the testimony was false, but all the evidence on the subject must do so. One of the cornerstones of a functioning legal system is that people tell the truth under oath. Lawyers are officers of the court and so have the additional burdon of their legal ethics requiring them to conduct themselves ethically in a court of law. You know this, but your defense of a Democrat is predictable. Funny, I have never seen a post in which you said that Packwood was ok.Every halfway alert person knows that Catholic communion is reserved for Catholics. ... to ask for and receive Catholic communion when you are Clinton, is sacrilege. Even Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry know that they are not allowed to take Catholic communion.? Why? The part when the priest says all Catholics in good standing are welcome to receive communion. I have heard it many times. Maybe Bill had never been in a Catholic church in an English speaking country; perhaps he was not aware it was the same religion... Teddy and John have been forbidden because of their statements on abortion and perhaps other issues.
