Yes! It's not just bending it, its breaking the law. You can go to jail for it just like Lil Kim did. I forget the technical name of it.

How does the balance of power lie within the current Supreme Court?

The balance of power in the current Supreme Court of the United States is generally considered to be conservative and minalimist. It will not hesatite to find a law or part of a law unconstitutional. It will definitely find a court interpretation wrong which will throw a number of convicts out of prison. Still, it will only deal with a particular law or a particular administrative application of that law as in a voting rights case in Texas. It did not throw out the voting rights act. It threw out a number of cases where prosecutors had withheld evidence. It did not throw out all cases where prosecutorial misdeeds had occurred.


Would wife take lie detecter test if she cheated?

Lie detector tests are not 100% accurate and although given by law they are not admissibly in a court of law and using a lie detector is not used for public use; therefore it would not make any point for your wife to take a lie detector test. Hypothetically, if your wife did cheat she would probably decline taking the test.

What are the principle of operation of lie detector?

Lie detectors, or polygraph machines as they're more officially known, are large contraptions that are filled with buttons, levers, paper, and measuring devices. They have been used for years in law enforcement to detect whether or not someone is actually lying to officials. The reason why people would lie to law enforcement officials is obvious - they committed a crime that they don't want to get caught for. Lie detectors can help solve this problem by asking a person who's strapped to a lie detector several questions and then analyzing the results. However, lie detectors still aren't permissible in court. This means that should a person fail a lie detector, they will not be able to be proven as lying in a court of law. And likewise, a person will not be able to use the results of a lie detector test to prove that they are telling the truth. This is because lie detectors can't actually detect if a person is lying. They can only tell if the person is displaying deceptive behaviour.
