stolen valor

From the Denver Post:

A federal judge in Denver has ruled that the Stolen Valor Act is "facially unconstitutional" because it violates free speech, and he dismissed the criminal case against Rick Strandlof, a man who lied about being an Iraq war veteran.

U.S. District Judge Robert E. Blackburn issued his decision Friday and rejected the prosecution's argument that lying about having military medals dilutes their meaning and significance.

The case is United States v. Strandlof. I know that many will not agree with the Judge's decision, and consequently my opinion. I wholly agree with the decision here especially with the facts of the case.
