Laws that prevent harmful false speech center on lies told about others. A lie that is told about another person can be difficult to reverse. It can permanently damage that person's reputation and well-being. However, a lie told about oneself and one's own accomplishments is easier to reverse through other speech. Indeed, in Mr. Fields's case, an effective way to reverse Mr. Fields's falsehoods is to simply point out his lie. The First Amendment empowers the public to use its own free speech in response to Mr. Fields. A law is unnecessary. 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.
