I agree with the judge. If you claim to be a hero trying to pick up a chick in a bar, you are exercising your God given rights. Lying to chicks in a bar is not a crime.

I agree that this law is one that should never have been passed. Liberals tend to outlaw all behavior that they find to be politically incorrect or offensive to them. Here we have a law passed by so-called conservatives that does the same thing. The constitution prohibits congress from infringing upon free speech, including the freedom to lie about who you are to people who don't know you.

As I said on another thread, if it is illegal for a guy to lie about his accomplishments when he is talking to chicks at a bar, it should be illegal for chicks to pad their bras.

We need less of these kinds of laws, not more.

Under what provision of the Constitution did Congress enact this legislation?

This is the question we ask liberals when they try to squelch the free speech of conservatives and religious people with political correctness and "hate speech" laws. Why don't we ask ourselves that when we want to outlaw behavior that we think is offensive to us?

Once they start criminalizing speech it's conservative voices they'll go after like they do in Canada.
