Since I read the news room but rarely get involved I still think you all have made some great posts over the time that I've been lurking. What's the feeling about the SCOTUS decision by an 8-1 margin that allows the Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals of dead servicemen with signs and chants of hate?
The Court is out of their minds in my opinion and while I agree that we all have first amendment rights we should also have the right to a respectful funeral. Surely some law applies to this. This could best be addressed on a local level, IMHO, by fining anyone that assaults a church member $10.00. It would be payable to the LEO's on the scene with no paperwork and go to their favorite charity. They could make millions.
Your thoughts? Can't wait for my Airborne, baggy pants devil to get in here.:devil:
