When I said "in a court or as a public statement" I meant in terms of legality. Obviously people shouldn't lie even at home, generally speaking, unless they need to in order to protect themselves and those around them.
For instance, if a thief breaks into your house and asks where your guns are, it would be stupid to tell him the truth.
But lying in a court of law or as a public statement should be illegal.
Whether the courts currently are full of crap or not is not my point.
>>Lying in a court of law or as a public statement should be illegal.<<
It is. If it's intentional, it's called perjury.
Now, when you locate a court system in the US of A that deals in judicial control and not simply legal control, please post it for all to see.
Have you read the White Paper I mentioned in 116?
