Much the opposite from you, I feel it would favor Peruta

But all the Judges are different from both cases besides Smith, Mckeown and Thomas

Much the opposite from you, I feel it would favor Peruta

how so, suka?

It favors the Constitution , instead of a written Law passed by Congress and signed by a President.

Yeah I'd rather let constitution do it's job, especially because social media is so good at tracking down people and shaming them these days. Save money on enforcement and gain some free entertainment.

I know for a fact many of these scumbags wearing uniforms are doing it for the discounts businesses give, and of course, to panhandle as they pretend to be disabled vets.

And is an interesting case. It appears the Court said that you can't be punished for wearing metals falsely but you can be for using it to profit.  I think the key part of all of this is that you count deceive people in order to benefit you financially. The same way there are laws that a retail establishment can't lie about a product they sell.
