I'm fine with lying being a crime about things that matter- but lying about things that aren't crimes, or part of a crime, shouldn't be a crime. I draw my line there.

but we have to draw the line somewhere Maybe we should draw the line in the questions asked, not the answers given. I've actually experienced a scenario where people were asked under oath about their sex lives questions that were irrelevant to the investigation. I did a lot of soul searching at the time and discussing with my colleagues and concluded that lying is acceptable under those circumstances. I can't draw a hard line on the answer when the question is off base.
