If this passes, that it is protected freedom of speech, it will open a can of worms regarding folks impersonating police officers and federal agents. Where will the line be drawn?

Given some of the recent decisions by "The Supremes", I am inclined to think they will uphold the Stolen Valor Act.
I read an editorial piece somewhere in the past month or so that took the position that most of the SC justices are PISSED OFF at POTUS for his taking the Court to task in his last State of the Union address.

There was a man in Augusta reported to CID on Ft Gordon recently for claiming to be a Ranger with a MOH.......Hope they tag his ass.
Although I always wanted to be a Astronaut Ranger....

You joke, but there is a Ranger Tab at RTB that went up with one of the shuttle pilots who was qualified.
That is freaking awesome.
