Judge Blackburn needs to be removed from the bench for impersonating someone with a brain. HOW DARE HE! I am beyond hate for creatures like him! Petition time!
Just Wow! Everything is spinning out of control!
It strikes me that the Stolen Valor act is Constitutional as those posing as war heroes are seeking something of value. They hope to gain, at least in part, as a result of their “heroic deeds.” When the claims are false, this is as much a fraud as trying to sell the Golden Gate Bridge when you don’t own it. At the very least, it is “Theft by Deception.”
As one who ‘did’ serve .. It is times like these that make me wish that I never had!
BTW: I also consider people like John Kerry .. SCUM .. on the same scale as those who never served but claimed to have!
The concept of free speech needs to be reformed. The doctrine was never intended to be absolute. There is not now nor has there ever been a right to lie! The judiciary is becoming a branch of clowns devoid of judgement. They will destroy their own credibility
The power of Congress to raise an army and navy implies the power to protect military valor from fraudulent claims in spite of the first amendment, just as it also gives Congress the right to a draft in spite of the 13th amendment against involuntary servitude.
I think we should get ID cards made up that say we are Senators, Congressmen, Judges, Doctors, etc.
That can’t be illegal, can it? Not if anyone can declare they are a Medal of Honor recipient and not be prosecuted.
What’s wrong with spreading another layer of BS?
Impeach now.
