There was another Supreme Court ruling that was lost amid the comprehensive coverage of the decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. In a 6-3 decision last Thursday, the court held that the federal Stolen Valor Act, which made it illegal for someone to claim to have won or to wear military medals or decorations they did not earn, violated the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.

It was a wise decision.

Not that we condone lying about military service, as it dishonors those who actually have fought and died in service of our country.
