Judge Robert Blackburn just ruled that the law making it a crime to lie about earning a Purple Heart is unconstitutional.
He said that it violated freedom of speech.
I think he's nuts.
Folks, earning a Purple Heart is serious. It means you were wounded or killed by an enemy of the U.S. while you were serving the country. Lying about it isn't about free speech - it's about slandering the efforts of honest men and women who put it on the line.
You're probably thinking that this is another activist liberal judge. Actually, he was appointed by George W. Bush. Wow...guess it all makes sense now.
