Word fail me.....
Well, the first amendment is pretty clear...
I agree with this decision. We don’t want the government telling us what we can and can’t say, even if we say something untrue or unpleasant or objectionable.
Also, free speech counters free speech. The correct response to stolen valor is full court press shaming of the individual.
Long live 1A!
Today is turning out to be a day have long dreaded. Will buck up later today or tomorrow. My promise.
6-3 ruling. Let me guess..... Roberts = Souter. I am sick today
So are laws against perjury now unconstitutional?
And is it OK to lie about whether I’ve bought health insurance?
Or should I just be honest and refuse to pay the healthcare tax on the grounds that I am symbolically speaking out against the tax?
So many questions...
You may henceforth refer me to Space Admiral now.
Without lying Kenyan pot smokers couldn't become President. Without lying many Supreme court nominees would never be confirmed. Without lying most congressmen would never be elected.
Our entire system depends heavily on a person's right to look their opponents in the eye and tell the biggest fattest whopper they can.
Obama can go for that MOH for personally killing Bin Laden with his bare hands now.
So...... If one of these clowns can lie and say “I earned these medals.”, does that mean I can lie and say “He fell down the stairs.”?
Early in the Iraq war my Nephew died in Fallujah.
At the funeral the F.B.I. arrested some baboso who got up close to the parents dressed as a full bird Colonel.
I think John would have beaten the guy had he gotten to him.
For the last 75 years the U.S. Supreme Court and the appellate courts have with consistency favored the criminal element in our society, the pornographer, the foul mouthed, the vice addict, the pervert, the seditious and treasonous
Considering that a corrupt-country wrecking-baby killing-white hating-Black lying muslim-bastard son of a communist whore, can claim that he is a legitimate president, then why not?
Well, freedom of speech, as precious as it is, is a double edged sward.. it cuts in both directions.
After today’s ruling, what good is the Medal of Honor that I received in the Spanish-American War?
Mark Levin will be livid this evening.
SO I ask you who support this, WHY should the Military even bother to award Medals for different conduct, such as having been wounded, meritorious service, duty over and above the call, having served in harms way, or for valor?
They are much more than "Little Pieces of Cloth" or ribbons: for those of us who have served (and earned some recognition for what we did/accomplished) they are "SPECIAL" and "CHERISHED" and even though most of us never have the opportunity to display/wear them, we KNOW (in our hearts) what those who have been awarded same, did (most of the time as there as exceptions: SEE John "F'n" Kerry) to have "earned" and deserved them as well as what we did.
That some scumbags might benefit from lying about their accomplishments which are not true or brag about their service, is beyond despicable and a sad, black day for all those who came before us and the sacrifices so many made for our Country.
They pizzed on America with ObamaCare and now they’ve pizzed on our heroes. Black crows of death, indeed.
I agree with this one. I think that the First Amendment protects our rights to be jerks. I like the fact that we can tolerate awful speech that other countries cannot.
I find the man to be disgusting but so long as he is not profiting from his lie I don’t think its any of the government’s business. You can also make a slippery slope argument about the government stepping in and deciding to be the arbiter of what is truth and what is a lie and punish citizens accordingly. Whats to stop them from deciding to step in and punish people based on their opinions about other things? Could Obama and the Democrats eventually extend this type of logic and aggressively police our thoughts?
