Why does the justice object to the enforcement of the Stolen Valor Act? Laws must not prevent false speech about others. Laws making it a crime to tell lies about oneself are not needed. It is not possible to reverse a lie through other speech. Lies told about others are less serious than lies told about oneself.

The justice objected to the enforcement of the Stolen Valor Act because it was considered that Laws making it a crime to tell lies about oneself are not needed.

President Barack Obama signed the Stolen Valor Act on June 3, 2013. The purpose was to make a federal claim in the case an individual lie about receiving military decorations in orders to get benefits such as money or favors. But what happened was that this act created controversy. The justice objected to the enforcement of the Stolen Valor Act because it was considered that Laws making it a crime to tell lies about oneself were not needed.
