The 9th Circus says you Freepers should no longer condemn people who pretend to be war heroes ... like the Royal Idiot!

[Boogieman]

I have to say they are correct. It is freedom of speech.

If their deception was designed to get them some personal gain, then they can be charged with fraud. Otherwise, they are just playing dress up and that isn’t illegal.

John Kerry, please check it at the White House lost and found.

Geez! I am going to run to the Army surplus store right now! ;-)

[Cicero]

Nonsense. Fraud is not free speech.

[SandRat]

Figures, More stupidity from the 9th Federl Cicus Court in CA.

[Cyman]

This is the same court that heard oral arguments in the Peruta case in June of 2015 and has not returned a ruling as of this date. Wonder which way they will side

[yarddog]

Some of them seem to be pathetic. It is obvious even to people like me who have not been in the military. These, I sort of feel sorry for.

Others are professional con men who lie about just about everything in order to gain an advantage. These are beneath contempt.

[SkyDancer]

It’s also freedom of speech to use hate speech against Jews and Christians but it is hate speech against the mussies.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m going to put on some medals I did not earn, run into a movie house and yell “Fire!”

That should effectively tie-up our entire Federal Court System for the next thirteen years.

[DannyTN]

So then we can imitate police?

[Pollster1]

Go ahead and wear that MOH with your Civil War Campaign Medal. No one will stop you. I hope decent people will at least publicly shame these morons.

Free Speech my arse. It's hardly what the FF's meant in the 1st Amendment. The purpose of the 1st was about political freedom of expression. And again, they are rolling in their graves.

Did this guy even serve and have the right to wear a military uniform? If not, I would think there is something in the US Code about that. If so, it's still FRAUD because any wannabe benefits in some way by his Stolen Valor. If not direct financial gain, then free drinks, meals, false admiration, etc.

Every municipality and State has laws against wearing LEO uniforms and/or medals not earned. If we ever needed another Fedgov law, this is one I would agree with. Guess I should add a Navy Commendation medal to my DD214. There's always Photo Shop (/s).

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Speaking for all of us here who are federal judges, which would be all of us, we disagree with this court’s decision. Judges obvious have nothing special about them that should require or even elicit respect from others, so it is within our free speech rights to pretend that we are judges.

I’m sure that several of us here have even served as associate justices on the Supreme Court of the United States a time or two.

And being a judge is a great way to get sex hook ups in bars, as well as being invited to speak at public functions and getting discounts at fast food restaurants. Other judges have no right to criticize us for dressing up to take advantage of the whole “judge” thing.

[EDINVA]

9th Circuit says it all... this will be overturned by SCOTUS. 99% sure.

[Kickass Conservative]

I’m not a Veteran, yet I keep receiving things in the Mail telling me all the wonderful Benefits I can get because I’m a Veteran.

I guess I can take them up on all the Freebies I’m being promised thanks to the 9th Circus.

A specially convened 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
It's the 9th "Circus" - it'll be overturned.
