Westboro Baptist Church Can Protest Military Funerals

The hatemongers at Westboro “Baptist Church” are within their First Amendment rights to protest military funerals.  At least that’s what the US Supreme Court said in a 8-1 ruling.  Justice Alito was the lone dissenter in this case.

But just because we can do something, that doesn’t mean that we should do it.  While I’m a strong supporter of the First Amendment, I think the High Court got it wrong in this instance.
