Supreme Court...From Good to Bad

After reading about what I thought was one of the best rulings from the Supreme Court recently (see prior post), I read today about one of the worst ones.  (In my opinion, of course)  The Suprme Court ruled 8 to 1 that protestors are protected by theFirst Ammendent when it comes to protesting military funerals.  The Westboro baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, has been in the habit of protesting military funerals.  Apparently the Wingnuts from Westboro believe that god kills military personnell in Iraq and Aphganistan as punishment for our tolerance of homosexuality.  The Supreme Court agreed with their right of free speech.  Only Justice Sam Alito disagreed. Click here for more coverage.
