So long as these evil anti-American, anti-Christian thugs are on public property, I agree with the Supremes. The WBB thugs have the same constitutional rights as the rest of us. [My solution: use private property rights to restrict them from disturbing decent people to the maximum extent possible, otherwise tolerate them just like we tolerate those who still cheer for Obama. ]

Couldn't have said it better myself. The Constitution is what it is.

I hate to say it, but I agree with you that the USSC got this one right. As long as WBB members are on public land, they have the same rights as the rest of us. I may not like what they say, but I have to agree that they have the right to say it.

That being said, the personal property idea sounds like the best way to go here. I know most people will want to resort to force to stop this bunch, but you can’t fight stupid with stupid. They’ll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. The better way would be to maneuver them into a position where they can do as little harm as possible and then support the families who are grieving.

I really liked the way it was handled in Tucson, AZ. Hundreds of anti-Westboro demonstrators stood between the Westboro crowd and the funeral. I am a Born Again, Bible believing, right wing conservative, and I am disgusted at what the Westboro crowd is doing.

Yes, that is what Freedom and 1st Amendment rights is all about....we know the lefties on this court would vote not because of 1st Amendment rights, they voted because of who and what this group is doing and has done...you can bet if it’d been a conservative right wing group those lefties would have voted differently.

A silver lining to this cloud -- They just defeated political correctness!!!!

Political correctness was designed to stop people from speaking out against any left wing special interest group. Citizens were terrorized by the threat of hate speech litigation.

The court is saying there's no such thing as hate speech. We can speak out against any left wing special interest group at any time and in any way.
People have been led to believe otherwise. The court just reminded Americans they DO have a choice and a right to their opinions free from left wing retribution.

Scotus is wrong.

This is not a free speech issue. It is a property rights issue.

When I inter my child in any cemetery, I have arranged for that time and place with the official custodians of that cemetery. For that period of time, I have reserved it just as surely as I have reserved a hall for a wedding, a club for a dance, a stadium for a game, a pavilion area for a picnic.

As the property “renter” at that moment, I can keep others out of my hall, club, stadium, or picnic area.

Moreover, if they attempt to crash my area with tresspass of body, sound, light, or other means of disruption, then they have violated my property rights.
