ON TELLING THE TRUTH

Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us, he sets

 himself against our doings, reproaches us for our transgressions

 and charges us with violations of our training.

Wisdom 2:12

If people told the truth all the time, judges like Judy would be out of business, more sex starved politicians would still be in office and most of us wouldn't have any friends to speak of!

The job of a judge is to expose liars, even after people have pledged to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Some politicians could probably survive their "indiscretions," but it is the lying, the deceit and the cover-up that usually brings them down.
