I have to admit I didn’t read all the details of the case;(
But, yes, social lying, when not made to commit a fraud upon an employer or to get a position of power, should not be prosecuted.
How about calling in sick when you aren't?
What business of it of Congress to make it a crime to lie to an employer on a resume or an application or when you are calling in sick? Can you point to a clause in the Constitution that would allow Congress to make such an act illegal?
And if we made it a crime to lie to obtain a "position of power" we would have to prosecute every single politician in the country. Not a bad idea, but then does Congress have the Constitutional authority to pass such a law? And who would be the arbiter of "TRUTH" in these cases?
And how about when the employer promises to give you all kinds of benefits when you come to work for him and then he doesn't? Should that be a federal crime?
