Vintage Brownback via the DSCC:

“Perjury and obstruction of justice are crimes against the state. Perjury goes directly against the truth-finding function of the judicial branch of government.” [Congressional Record, 2/12/99]

From the talk show appearances so far this week it appears that part of the Republican spin on any Plamegate indictments will be that perjury and obstruction of justice are not real crimes. How times have changed. I seem to remember not so long ago something along the lines of “It’s not the sex, it’s the lies…”

In any case, Senators like Brownback should take careful notice of what they say now. Many of them are on record as concluding perjury to be an impeachable offense.
