I thought about something last night. If there really is a constitutional "right to lie," how in the world do you EVER charge someone with fraud or perjury?? Laws against that kind of lying would infringe upon a person's overall "right to lie," and thus would be struck down.

And don't say it's because money changes hands or a guilty person might go free. The Constitution supercedes all laws, as this case demonstrates. And if a criminal's rights are found to have been violated, he can be released, regardless of the evidence against him.

So there really is no "right to lie." Those two judges are either idiots, or rabidly anti-military.
