“Justice Samuel Alito was the lone dissenter in the case that pits free speech against privacy rights. He argued the First Amendment does not protect Americans who launch “vicious verbal attacks that make no contribution to public debate” during “a time of intense emotional sensitivity.”
Are you going to write off Sam too... because he agrees with Palin... so do I.

There are ways to deal with obnoxious jerks like the WBC in a court of law. If they came to a funeral and the father punched one in the face (repeatedly), he would likely be arrested. Given the facts in the case I doubt he would be convicted. That precident being set, fathers would have a free shot at these creeps. That would probably cause the WBC to rethink their actions. Same thing if their cars all got flat tires. Good luck convicting the perps. I like to think it works that way.
