Ruling Rejects Federal Law That Criminalizes Lying About Military Valor

The 6-3 ruling came in a case involving Xavier Alvarez, a former local elected official who at a 2007 water board meeting in Southern California falsely claimed that he had served as a Marine and received a Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration. As Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority, "Lying was his habit."

Freedom to express?
Just like porn.

In a way, I have to reluctantly concur with the ruling, but think that the act of lying about receiving some type of military honor is an incredibly slimy one.
