[P-Marlowe]

I’m agreeing with you to an extent....just saying that lying in certain circumstances can be criminal...because in certain circumstances it is fraud.

Criminal fraud laws are not affected by this decision. This decision merely states that Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to make social lying or bragging a crime. THAT should give all of us a measure of relief!

I have to admit I didn’t read all the details of the case;(

But, yes, social lying, when not made to commit a fraud upon an employer or to get a position of power, should not be prosecuted.
