A perjurer in the White House? The constitutional case for perjury and obstruction of justice as high crimes and misdemeanors

Article Abstract:

Perjury and obstruction of justice by a president do constitute impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors under the Constitution even when these offenses do not relate to a president's official duties. President Clinton's defenders sought to refute both of these propositions. However, by committing these acts the President undermined the rule of law and departed from his constitutional duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed. This view was vindicated despite the President's acquittal.

The judiciary and free markets

Article Abstract:

A judicial process which complements and supports a free market economy is necessary to the continuation of a free society. American courts in the 20th century have not operated in such a manner largely due to the regulatory function which has been artificially and inappropriately attached to the judicial system. Microeconomic neo-classical theory premised upon freedom of contact and rights in property may be the basis for a judicial process fitting a free society.
