The key issue in the case was whether the First Amendment protects false statements of fact made without any attempt to defraud or gain anything of value. On this question, six justices agreed that some measure of protection was warranted but disagreed as to the level of protection, while the three dissenters wrote that knowingly false statements are unprotected by the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court's June 28, 2012, decision in United States v. Alvarez reaffirmed the important First Amendment principle that the First Amendment "protects the speech we detest as well as the speech we embrace." The Court voted 6-3 to strike down the Stolen Valor Act, 18 U.S.C. § 704, which made it a federal crime to falsely claim receipt of military decorations or medals, upholding a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

Answer:
Explanation:
Consequentialism is the view that morality is all about producing the right kinds of overall consequences. Here the phrase “overall consequences” of an action means everything the action brings about, including the action itself. For example, if you think that the whole point of morality is (a) to spread happiness and relieve suffering, or (b) to create as much freedom as possible in the world, or (c) to promote the survival of our species, then you accept consequentialism. Although those three views disagree about which kinds of consequences matter, they agree that consequences are all that matters. So, they agree that consequentialism is true. The utilitarianism of John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham is a well known example of consequentialism. By contrast, the deontological theories of John Locke and Immanuel Kant are nonconsequentialist.
Consequentialism is controversial. Various nonconsequentialist views are that morality is all about doing one’s duty, respecting rights, obeying nature, obeying God, obeying one’s own heart, actualizing one’s own potential, being reasonable, respecting all people, or not interfering with others—no matter the consequences.
