> This one is a GEM and shouldn't Surprise us anymore just add it to >BHO's long list of lie's.(Notice how quick the left make's up excuses to >cover up his sickness) > "My Father Served in WWII" I suppose the following ruling should come as no surprise. If it is acceptable for the commander and chief, (BHO) to out and out lie about his father serving in the US military and or a war. At this point I wonder does BHO even know who this father is. To the men and women that serve our country in the US Military with tradition of honor and integrity. I appreciate and respect you all. Court Rules People Have a Right to Lie About Receiving Military Medals Published August 17, 2010 | Associated Press Print Email Share Comments (114) Text Size PASADENA, Calif. -- 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. A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with him in a 2-1 decision. The majority said there's no evidence that such lies harm anybody, and there's no compelling reason for the government to ban such lies. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles is deciding whether to appeal the ruling. |
