Perjury, Circa 1999, Apropos of Nothing; or, New Democratic Talking Points

(Greetings readers from ... everywhere.  I'm upset, you're upset, but there are ways to cheer yourself up.)

"Shame at the White House," New York Times (12 September 1998):

The essence of Mr. Starr's case is that lying under oath is an impeachable offense even if the false testimony begins in a civil suit that was later dismissed or took place in a grand jury as an attempt to hide an embarrassing indiscretion. Mr. Starr's view holds that in a society founded on the rule of law, false swearing or witness tampering, abuse of office or obstruction of justice by the person vested with the highest legal powers is impermissible no matter how petty the subject.
