Putting back oppositions and legal challenges

The reason the act was ruled unconstitutional because it faced oppositions and that was found in one of the edits like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stolen_Valor_Act_of_2005&oldid=473961968. So I think we need to reinstated it because it will make more sense. Song4Life (talk) 22:27, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
