A better question is: If Clinton is guilty of perjury and other felonies, should he be impeached?

If you don't think about lying about sex and related issues under oath should be a crime, well, then change the law. But right now any form of lying under oath is perjury, whether you like it or not.

As rare as it is, I agree with Declan here. If Clinton would lie under oath about a non-crime (ie sex between consenting adults) what would he do if faced with a real issue? He should have said "Yeah, I had sex with her. What business is it of yours?". ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
