"One can commit a crime and get away with it." The judge ruled that it wasn't. Judges have that power. "By definition, that IS perjury." No it isn't. Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter* under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing* en.wikipedia.org "Doesn't matter whether a judge later determined it wasn't relevant to the case (nuance #1)" Actually, in the case of the judge, it does. "Doesn't matter whether it was a judge or a jury that determined it " Actually, in the case of the judge, it does. "At least my "legal training" far exceeds yours, given that you once thought perjury wasn't even a felony:" I made a mistake and admitted it. now that I've shown you are wrong, are you going to man up to it?

The Cost Of Bush: $32 Trillion 17 Dec 2007 02:02 pm andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com The opinion of another shrill hysteric? Just David M. Walker, the Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO: In a speech today at the National Press Club, he said, "If the federal government was a private corporation and the same report came out this morning, our stock would be dropping and there would be talk about whether the company's management and directors needed a major shake-up." Walker urged greater transparency and accountability over the federal government's operations, financial condition, and fiscal outlook... "The federal government's fiscal exposures totaled approximately $53 trillion as of September 30, 2007, up more than $2 trillion from September 30, 2006, and an increase of more than $32 trillion from about $20 trillion as of September 30, 2000," Walker said. "This translates into a current burden of about $175,000 per American or approximately $455,000 per American household."
