And In Lesser News Today, Republicans Win One: You Have a Constitutional Right To Lie

June 28, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Republicans are celebrating their one victory today:  The right to lie is constitutionally protected.

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a federal law called the Stolen Valor Act which prohibits a person from falsely claiming that he has been awarded a military honor.

The case involved Xavier Alvarez who was an elected member of the Three Valleys Municipal Water District Board in Pomona, California. In 2007 Alvarez said at a public water district board meeting that he was a retired Marine, had been “wounded many times,” and had been “awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor” in 1987.

So, expect every Republican running for office to now claim they have a degree from Harvard and a Congressional Medal of Honor.

And this decision comes  just in time to save Mitt Romney’s rump, here’s a website that list all 344 (so far) lies he’s told since he started running for President.

Thanks to Star for the heads-up.
