Another Stupid Supreme Court Moment

Yes, the Supreme Court had a bad day on Thursday.  Chief Justice John Roberts was a complete embarrassment in his ruling in favor ObamaCare.
But the worst of the Supreme Court was not that, it came when they said the Stolen Valor law was unconstitutional.  I don't have a problem with the verdict but this quote shows that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy who wrote the opinion, has no clue whatsoever:
From the LVRJ: The court voted 6-3 Thursday in favor of Alvarez, a former local elected official in California. In a judgment written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court noted that lying about valor medals doesn't degrade those that were truly earned and therefore ordered that Alvarez's conviction be thrown out.

Are you kidding me?  By having someone say that they are a Purple Heart winner or Congressional Medal of Honor winner and it being a lie does degrade those who have earned those awards. If enough people lie about the awards, it would seem that the awards are easy to get, which, of course, they are not.
Not a very good week for the Supreme Court.
