In my opinion, our legal system was gotten very lax regarding the sanctity of truth and people who commit perjury rarely get punished and as a result have made a mockery of our judicial system and this ultimately victimizes innocent people.

Also, if Clemens' attorney decides to pursue the double-jeopardy hearing and gets Clemens acquitted, that to me does nothing to help his credibility and thus the cloud of unethical behavior still looms and his chances of going to the Hall are greatly diminished in my opinion.

One could also argue that this whole spectacle is a better economic stimulus package than any Washington lawmaker could ever conceive of.

Apparently the Government's attorney slept through the first day of law school He should have known better than to try to use evidence ruled inadmissible to bolster his evidence. Dumb...
