				 | Not that I am a constitutional lawyer...  My take on this is that if you take away the freedom of any group to protest you start down the slippery slope of banning any and all protests who don't agree with your point fo view...
 That being said, I am glad we have brave patriots like the Patriot Guard Riders who also use thier First Ammendment rights to protest the Westboro Baptists...

				 | outrageous! 
what reason would anyone have to protest a war at a funeral?, they are using it as a tool to get what the spoiled brats wish   If you are against the war, protest the government who got us into it not the soldiers sent there to protect our freedom    
unbelievable
 
what judge would allow this to go on?  |

 |  I agree. 
IMHO, they have the right. they make me want to puke, but its a free country and we have the right to assemble and to free speech.  
As far as this country going down hill, this is a very, very, very small group that is getting media attention, just like the guy wanted to burn the korans or the code pink libs. It doesnt reflect on the state of this country or our values. |

 |  I agree, but go to planned parenthood, and see the lines drawn on the sidewalk and people always there. The 1st amendment allows all the freedom to speak, unlike many countries.
 
But the right to bear arms should allow you to SHOOT the bastards |
