What ARE we going to do? This comes from the Fox News web site:
"A federal appeals court panel in California says people have a right to lie about receiving military medals.
The Tuesday ruling involves the case of
Xavier Alvarez, who falsely claimed in 2007 to have won a Congressional
Medal of Honor. He was charged with violating the federal Stolen Valor
Act, which makes it a crime to falsely claim to have won a military
medal.
Alvarez challenged the law on appeal as a violation of his free-speech rights." Is the whole country on crack? I really have a hard time understanding how falsely claiming to have military medals is a freedom of speech issue.
