"the Constitution prohibits the government from prosecuting someone for merely lying."

ahhh, that's what they sent Martha to jail for - and just yesterday , the ONLY thing, of all the charges on Blago - that they convicted for was lying.

This needs to be overturned - this creep should not be able to ride on the service and sacrifices of our troops

In the liberal world, lying is good, and telling the truth is bad. How hard is that to understand?

Hmmm, there seems to be numerous scriptures in the Bible about lying. Of course, this judge is the ultimate authority - he thinks! I think God would beg to disagree with his verdict.

That is because there is a special law against lying to a federal law officer. You can also go to jail for filing a false police report but it is not illegal to lie to a police officer.

You can also go to jail for lying in court, but it has never been the case in this country since its founding that regular old lying is a crime. If it had, then all lawyers and politicians would be in jail because that is what they do for a living.
