If adultery is illegal? Are they prosecuting it?

Yes, by state, and Yes, irregularly. The state doesn't decide if they prosecute adultery without insistance from one of the married couple.

I believe most cases of adultery do not include jail time, but a punitive fine.

Please, I am a Libertarian, I support wide-spread prosecution of adultery because it represents a breach of contract...a quite severe one because it most often represents not only a breach of a secular contract, but also a breach of a sacred contract.

However, by concentrating on the adultery comments made by Santorum, you've made your argument unique, but have not elevated it above the combination of nit-picking and hair-splitting that it represents.

First of all I would like to see the name and story of just ONE person in the United States criminally charged with adultery.

But, regarding the nit-picking... I simply stated that I supported Santorum and his views but thought he did not represent those views very well by what he said here.

And if Santorum had it to do all over again, HE would probably choose different words to better express himself.
