You and I know they're lying, but knowing and proving are two different things.
As said by Denzel Washington in the movie Training Day, it's not what you know, it's what you can prove, and I don't see how that's proven.

(15,809 posts)I can understand this being brought up last week but its been explained that they carefully worded their answers to a way to not have perjured themselves. They are lawyers afterall. If we keep this up no Supreme Court justice will even answer a question.

Didn't happen, they stated their opinions on the meanings of previous Court decisions, and the likelihood they would be maintained.
Frustrating, but i guess you're all right.

I dont believe they would be allowed to say anything like that. I know they wouldn't let anyone on a jury who said they already decided how they would rule.
