New Law to Counter Westboro Protests

Mon, 08-13-2012 - 10:33am

Last week, President Obama signed a law that includes language to protect our soldiers' funerals.  

I'm not sure how I feel about this.  On one hand, I'm glad that the Westboro "church" won't be able to be as disrespectful, obnoxious, and hateful as they have been, but I still think that this is a violation of the First Amendment.  

I wonder if the church will try to get this law overturned in the Supreme Court.
