JOHNSON LIED

"In an interview Thursday night with the Star Tribune, Johnson, DFL-Willmar, said he had overstated the justice's comments about the marriage law in his January meeting with clergy members from New London and Spicer, Minn.

He would not identify which justice.

'I embellished it to say the judiciary doesn't seem too interested in overturning this,' Johnson said." Source: Star Tribune, March 17, 2006
