High Court Rules in Favor of Funeral Protesters - WSJ.com
WASHINGTON—The First Amendment protects a fringe religious group that protested the funeral of a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
The court, in an 8-to-1 vote, ruled that the soldier's father could not sue Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., for celebrating his son's death with a funeral picket that included signs saying "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "God Hates You," along with more vulgar messages.
