On Testing the Limits of Free Speech...

There was a reason why freedom of speech was put at the top in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights guaranteed to citizens of the United States.  No higher value can be placed above it if a free and democratic society hopes to exists.

However... crazy people doing disgusting things really ruins it for everyone sometimes...

The US Supreme Court heard arguments concerning the Phelps family from Topeka, Kansas who have been traveling all over the United States protesting at soldiers funerals (at random) because they believe God is deliberately killing them for America's tolerance of homosexuals.

I absolutely think these people should get locked up or fined... but there really is no constitutional argument that can be made to stop them from protesting.  Freedom of speech and freedom of assembly guarantees them the right to protest anything they want in public areas as long as they are being non-violent.  It will be interesting to see how the conservative and and liberal justices divide themselves on this decision.

Simply, disgusting... LA Times has more details and here is a clip from the PBS News Hour.
