>It was the discovery process itself, not the verdict, which was assessing damage upon the innocent And the merely accuse.< My friend, you see this assessment of yours is merely your assessment. You or no one else has the right to unilaterally apply the results of such assessments to our nation's legal proceedings. When the court trains its attention upon a matter, ANY matter, it is incumbent upon any and all subjects concerned with the matter to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. In cases where a citizen thinks the court itself is being unjust, that citizen yet must tell the truth, just as the citizen swore he would. He then will have the option of appealing to higher courts. What you in essence propose here is legal anarchy, a system wherein anyone who deems the court unfair can lie as a defense. This is simply untenable. Yet this is what your President has done. It is a dreadful thing the country has done to itself, and we will pay for it for centuries. Unfortunately, many of the future results of it will be too subtle (and yet terribly pernicious) to allow the average citizen to trace it to these current times.
