Jeff Sessions and that "Island in the Pacific"
Forums:
"I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and Constitutional power." - Jeff Sessions on a recent decision by a federal judge in the US District Court for the District of Hawaii blocking Trump's latest travel ban.
I guess Sessions needed to be reminded that that the "island in the Pacific" was admitted into the Union as the 50th state in 1959:

No, it's not. It has to be willful:
If that all sounds like an open-and-shut case of lying under oath, some cooling of the jets is in order. That’s because perjury, along with the handful of other statutes that criminalize dishonest statements made to Congress, requires prosecutors to prove that a defendant “willfully” made a statement he knew to be untrue. In other words, Sessions would’ve had to lie on purpose, not simply utter a falsehood by accident. A plausible case for perjury can be mounted only if there is no room to believe that Sessions thought he was being honest.
