This is nice and all, but I think that its a pretty egregious affront to the protesters' 1st Amendment rights. I don't expect that these laws will stand up to challenge, which is unfortunate because the lawmakers' hearts are in the right place. Its too bad that Phelps et al are making this statement, but its their right to do so, no matter how offensive most of us find it.
