The First Amendment and false statements of fact (in the context of the Stolen Valor Act)

[Volokh, Eugene]

On Friday, I'm filing an amicus brief (for myself) on my own behalf in U.S. v. Strandlof, a Stolen Valor Act false-claim-of-military-decorations case.  I've posted the text of the opinion at http://volokh.com/2010/01/03/the-first-amendment-and-knowingly-false-statements-of-fact/, and the draft brief itself at http://volokh.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/strandlofamicusdraft.pdf .  Naturally, if any of you are interested enough in the matter to look at the brief and give me comments, I'd love to hear them, since I still have a few days in which to correct and improve the brief.  Many thanks,

Eugene
