Despite the "good intentions" this ruling was a give-me. There was no justification for how the law was written since it overextends into private communications rather more narrowly aiming for cases where fraud is occurring.
Real constitutional conservatives would understand this.

If the Stolen Valor Act limited itself to cases where fraud was occurring, then it would have been completely unnecessary. The last thing we need is another Federal law that makes it a Federal crime to do something that is already illegal in any U.S. state.

Real constitutional conservatives would understand this. Yeah. But we get flamed here for saying Kennedy is actually the real CONSERVATIVE on SCOTUS.
What passes for "conservative" among Repubs are actually authoritarians. They live in the days of the Warren Court. The dissent in this case is scary.
