Week 3 EOC: Stolen Valor Act

Stolen Valor Act says it's a federal crime to falsely claim that you have no military honors when you really have not, but apparently that's not the case by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court says it's protected by the first amendment and that people can lie about anything. This can cause a lot of people because that means any company can falsely claim something and sell them to the public. For example, a company can falsely claim that it can cure cancer and somebody can stop them because it's protected by the 1st amendment and they can totally ignore the regulations. The first amendment needs to be regulated, if not the United States can be in a lot of trouble. If it’s not regulated then people will think that it is okay to yell “Fire!” at the movie theaters. A five year old kid will think it okay to say “bitch” to his/her mother. It will get bad for our country. Other countries already look down on us, this would make this worse than it already is. The people of the United States already has enough rights, it wouldn’t hurt to have more restrictions.
