    good news, Mr44!

    an appeals court has decided stolen valor (or, at least, the wearing of unearned medals) is free speech worthy of protection

    Lying is free speech now?

    Where is society going, and why is it in a handbasket?

    Um, lying has always been free speech. you think the government should be able to lock you up for telling your more obnoxious friends you have a headache and need to make it an early night?

    Actually:
    Texas Penal Code 38.122
    (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to obtain an economic benefit for himself or herself, the person holds himself or herself out as a lawyer, unless he or she is currently licensed to practice law in this state, another state, or a foreign country and is in good standing with the State Bar of Texas and the state bar or licensing authority of any and all other states and foreign countries where licensed.

    (b) An offense under Subsection (a) of this section is a felony of the third degree.
