I can't argue with you guys - these Phelps people are completely deplorable. I would be happy to slap the shit out of one should I ever meet them. But what next? They can't protest at the funeral because it's rude and awful. What about a political funeral, like Dr. King's wife? It's still in poor taste, and they would do better not to protest... but ... So they can't protest there either. Then what event would then be labeled as too sensitive, too traumatic for the participants? It could so easily become a tool to suppress protests at legitimate events.
I think this doesn't belong in the lawmakers' hands. This should be a case, perhaps brought by the Veteran's Association, which asks for a restraining order - disobeying of which results in jail time and fines.
