I don't understand what the big deal about perjury is. You have politicians lying under oath all the time and having 0 punishments despite the huge ramifications of those lies. Why should the "small time" liars be punished.

- ww-picard-do 4y agoSo, it is ok for people to lie in court because politicians do it?
- curiousgal 4y agoYes. Politicians are representatives of the people afterall.
- mcv 4y agoNo, but if you only prosecute poor people for it and not politicians, you create an unjust, class-based system where the law is different for different people. Politicians need to be held accountable perhaps more so than average people.
