“The Supreme Court Rules”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/judicial/2011-03-02-westboro-first-amendment_N.htm

The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that pastor Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church can protest at military funerals with signs bearing inflammatory anti-gay messages, under protection from the First Amendment. Soon, expect to see signs that say ‘God Hates the Supreme Court’.

The freedom of speech ruling means that Phelps can continue to chant loud slogans, carry large banners, and parade with colorful signs until he dies or comes out of the closet.

Due to the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech, no matter how distasteful it may be, the Court felt compelled to declare Pastor Phelps an assh*le.
