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.
