If you view the evidence like most favorable to the prosecution, and there are elements that are not proven or not being established beyond the reasons of that, then it is of course an obligation to enter a judgment of acquittal.

We are here today to announce the filing incredible court of a lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of the war against Libya. Our lawsuit calls for injunctive and declaratory relief to protect our nation from policies where any president decides to go to war unilaterally without a declaration of war from Congress as it's required by the constitution of the United States. There is just no question about it. The constitution of the United States, Article 1 Section 8 makes it profoundly clear that no president can go to war unilaterally without the permission of the Congress.
Yes, Weiner lied about our communications. I put out a three-sentence communication that he told me say, "My statement to the press that (quote)'I haven't met Representative Weiner.I follow him on twitter because I support him and what he stands for. I have been hounded by his political opponents, but that is not changed my view of him and what he fights for.'" I think that Anthony Weiner should resign because he lied to the public and to the press for more than a week. It might have never turned into this, if he told the truth, but he kept lying. If you lied about this, I can't have much faith in him about anything else.
