Ah, the keen legal mind of Sarah Palin.

Too bad Roberts, Scalia and Thomas disagree.

As do I. What they’re doing is protected speech, as disgusting as it is.

See #5.

[dforest]

I agree. That is what the Westboro knows. They want so called Constitutional conservatives to come out against the Constitution.

Then they gotcha!

[crz]

Absolutely.

As hateful as it is, it is protected under the constitution.

Nothing says they cant suffer a fatal accident though.

[Pure Country]

It’s not free speech, it’s harrassment...plain and simple.

[excopconservative]

Ah, the keen legal mind of Sarah Palin.

We’ve had enough lawyers as POTUS thank you. We need someone with both a brain and a heart. Since the military cemeteries are public property, the demonstrators can’t be kept out. What needs to change is the designation of private events on public property. If I rent a city facility for a wedding, I can keep others out. If I can’t, then why am I paying to rent it. The same situation needs to apply to a military funeral. The area around the event should be able to be secured from non-participants. Maybe the attorneys didn’t argue this case properly. You may have the right to say what you want without restriction, but I’m not required to hear it just because you want me to.

Nonsense. They are many things that are not protected speech. Seems only certain special interest groups get protected.
Besides they can say their vile crap all they want. That was never the issue. The issue is does their intrusion in to a private citizens funeral violate that persons rights and there can be no question in common sense and common deceny that it does.

[who knows what evil?]

Did you read her quote, or just the terribly misleading headline? You can disagree with her statement; but she did NOT say what the headline claims she did.

[jackv]

So harassment is ok? How is this not harassment?

[reasonisfaith]

I think the “keen mind” you should take a look at is your own.

Your mind failed to understand that Palin’s was not a legal statement.

[Leader_Of_The _Conservatives]

Where did she state otherwise?
