The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.

High Crimes and misdemeanors.
Not a single lawyer, nor judge I know considers lying in a civil matter either.

Um, ...
in a civil matter. A blowjob is, I think you would agree, is not a criminal matter.

I didn't forget.
Why in the name of all that is holy did the question of a blow job EVER GET PUT to the Grand Jury? Talk about abuse of process....

She got a tip...
They dismissed the insider trading charges. The only thing she is convicted of is purgery and obstruction of justice... Should she go to prison?

I don't know the case. But, ...,
probably not. However, I'll admit to being biased. I'm not a capitalist, so anything that makes working people lose faith in the stock market is a good thing imo. That said, even I'd argue that illegal trading practices are a much more serious vice in a capitalist society than getting a hummer. ;-)
