Solution: After we throw Obozo out, we reauthorize the Stolen Valor Act and tell the lawyers to stick it where the sun does not shine. That is, the Stolen Valor Act is NOT subject to judicial review.

I am going to get a judge costume and become an insane supreme court judge.

Damn, dawg, they couldn’t get one thing right

In that case, doesn’t it mean that the crime of lying to the FBI is also unconstitutional?

This is one of those cases where I find myself siding with the "liberal" majority.

Anyone who pretends to be a decorated military veteran is an @sshole, but there's no way in hell that should be a Federal crime in and of itself. This was one of those cases where emotional sentimentality drove Congress to pass a stupid law that was both unnecessary and (as it turns out) unconstitutional.

The 6-3 majority opinion upheld a Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that had declared unconstitutional the Stolen Valor Act, a 2006 statute Congress passed "to protect the reputation and meaning" of military honors.

So is perjury now protected under the First Amendment, or would our philosopher-kings on the bench say "well that's different."?
