The ruling misses the whole point of the awards. The compelling public interest is that their legitimacy be maintained. If you have frauds going about misrepresenting their status, or if you have other frauds attacking veterans who hold such awards legitimately, that the frauds can get away with their lies disestablishes the legitimacy of the awards.

If the awards are delegitimized, no one will bother to do that which results in their being awarded.

What that means is is some pretty serious stuff.

The federal judge in this case is probably a senile old drooler who failed to enlist when he had the chance. He should simply be removed from the bench by any lawful means.

You beat me to it.
I agree completely. I don’t know about the personality of the judge, but to indicate this wasn’t in the public interest is beyond stupid.
