Since I knew the position of the majority, I didn't read their opinion. I only read the dissent on this case, written by Justice Alito. I encourage each of you to read it also.

When one reads the dissent, one realizes the extent to which these vermin intentionally targeted these parents. So, it was way more than a protest. It was an intentional infliction of abuse and distress. This case should have never been made out to be a "freedom of protest" case - because the actions of the defendants in this case went far beyond a protest. It seems Alito got that and the others did not. If the only thing they were doing was "protesting," I would have agreed with the verdict. This simply wasn't a SCOTUS case, in my opinion.
