MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Relevancy. Harassment.
Does this count as perjury?
There's no legal rule that says you can't be an idiot.
Yet.
The way the US is going it's more likely they'll outlaw intelligence, not idiocy.
You can be an idiot, but it's perjury to be a lying idiot.
Only if they can prove you're lying and not in fact, just a bigger idiot.
Yes, but.
Perjury is a serious crime that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It's expensive and time consuming to make that kind of case. And a US attorney needs to decide to prosecute.
Yeah right... I lost count of how many people, specially cops, continuously lie under oath and nobody does anything in the good old USA
Crimes are what us poors commit. The others are just doing their jobs.
