It should be overturned. The First Amendment protects people from government restrictions on their speech. The underlying case was a private individual suing the Phelps mob. This is not a First Amendment case.

The first judge that heard it turned it into one, and all the others have followed like sheep.

I agree. Even if it were a First Amendment case, where would the line be drawn.

Much to my surprise the Attorney Phelps really did a good job aruging the case.

I still think that the Phelps are a bunch of nutcakes, and that their pickets are way over the top.
