Filing with the Supremes was probably pricier.

Anyone conducting a relief or legal support fund for the fellow? (I’d gladly like to see the $5 million award, or at least some award, reinstated, and not expect a nickel personally.)

That is one thing I will give Pat Robertson...he started the ACLJ back in the 90’s. I've followed Jay Sekulow throughout the years and have contributed to them. He's dynamic and always ready for battle. His son is involved now as well...he sounds just like his dad. He is truly blessed being a Messianic Jew. I can only imagine what that must be like..I'm sure his personal walk with Christ has amazing stories in it.

Jay really gives a great face to the ACLJ. Pat Robertson probably inspired a lot of facepalms.

LOL...yes, you are probably correct on that one. I’ve did the face palm thing regarding him before. Now I simply ‘cringe’ when I hear his name. He (PR) was great in the early 90’s (before the 94 election). He really rallied conservatives and republicans through the Christian Coalition organization. But then he seemed to go off the deep end. *sigh*

"Thats great news. So the Marine’s Dad is only out a few hundred dollars, not thousands"

That's right. The winner on appeal fills out a "Bill of Costs" which includes the printer's bill, the cost of filing the appeal ($350 for when this case was filed), and a few other small items. The is the practice in all federal appeals. It has nothing to do with the merits of a case or otherwise. Here's the link to the form the 4th Circuit uses. You can see these are small amounts.

I know what you mean, I have seen the word Catholic on other Church's and I know they aren't Catholic. I guess there just isn't much you can do about it.

I do feel bad for the Baptist's though. Some people may get the wrong idea in regards to Phelps trying to affiliate himself with them.

Westboro Baptist Church is no different from People’s Temple, Manson Family, Heaven’s Gate, and Al-Qaida.

One person’s freedom ends when it tramples on another person’s freedom.

Fred Phelps=Osama bin Laden, Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and Marshall Applewhite.

He is no different from them. He spews out the same garbage as Bin Laden and Jihadists.

“On Friday, Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps. Phelps is the leader of Topeka’s Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder’s funeral in 2006.”

I have to tell you, if Phelps protested my son’s funeral, it would be his last protest. I know that I would not be mentally stable enough to endure such an heinous act being consumed with grief.

Someone posted below that it is unwise to sue a professional troublemaker. What is one to do about this monster? Anyone that would protest a funeral of a Soldier is beyond mental. Why isn’t this guy locked up?

Someone this annoying would, I’d expect, get a lot of counter protests around HIS facility.
