Stolen Valor Act

Have you heard about the Stolen Valor Act? It makes it a crime for anyone lying about Military Honors to be charged with a crime. Amid recent healthcare debates this Supreme Court decision was forgotten. In a ruling the Court held that falsely claiming these honors is free speech. While completely and utterly despicable, we have to remember that just because we find the speech in question reproachful, having the right the make this speech is what makes us American.
