Snyder v Phelps

[draggonlaady]

Supreme court has heard testimony. Apparently no actual in-court insanity from any of the Phelps', but they felt it necessary to picket their own trial, whatever that's supposed to prove.

Pretty heavy-handed bias in the second article there... way to uphold journalistic objectivity! Not that I disagree, I mean the Phelps'/WBC are nutjobs extraordinaire, but I make no pretense of objectivity here.

Be interesting to see what the judges come back with, though one article said they don't expect a final decision for several months.

Yeah, this is one of those cases where the law may not have caught up with morality.

But since a) this is a civil case and it's therefore only money, and b) they were protesting a funeral, for crying out loud, not a government office, I say sock it to Phelps.
