I think we get the difference.
The question isn't the relative legality. The question is, Is lying under oath about a personal sexual matter between two consenting adults a greater wrong, a more serious matter, rising to the level of an impeachable offense, than lying about the presence of WMDs in Iraq to ensure public support needed to pursue a war?
Republicans say yes. Democrats say no.
