Our Constitution put the Founder’s beliefs of Natural Law into practice.
While there is a Natural Law right to freedom of speech, there is no right to shout “fire” in a crowded theater. Likewise, IMHO there is no right to deceive, which is what thieves of valor attempt to do.
That's an interesting way of looking at it.
In your opinion, could the government legitimately impose criminal penalties on me if I falsely claimed to be a marine biologist to the guy sitting next to me on the bus? Let's say I'm only making that claim because I want his (brief) admiration, and not for any other reason.
Where, exactly, is that in the Constitution? Next to the part about a constitutional right to an abortion? One of those pernumbra or emination things?
I thought those were just things that a few justices made up on a bad day.
