Currently the most 'challengeable' appointees to hold high federal jobs in American history will soon be attending their Senate confirmation hearings. Some of those candidates previously voiced very strong, declared positions on various issues that made no mistake in the minds of every American what position they took on those issues.

However, now that the dates of their Confirmation Hearings approach, some of those candidates are voicing different positions, if not reversing their previous positions... making it highly suspicious that these candidates will instantly revert to their previous positions after they have received Senate approval.

People lie on their resumes. People lie in court. People lie to their friends and family members. People lie in order to get what they want at the moment.

There are local, state and federal laws that make it a crime to lie to certain Law Enforcement interviewers. Some of those laws impose serious penalties. However, there is no law that punishes a candidate appearing for their official, Constitutionally mandated 'job interview' before the United States Senate who lies about their true positions on an issues they are being asked about.
