Actually, military funerals at governement cemetaries I am a little queasier
making a law protecting.
But I finally read the stories about the bikers, and I approve fully of
their actions.

It occurs to me (a little late) that most cemeteries are private. I
don't think there should be a law, but no one is stopping the cemetery,
church, etc. from asking the protesters to leave. I realize that this
doesn't work fo military funerals in gov't cemeteries, though. :-\

Isn't a funeral or a wedding a private affair? Does the mourner's right to
privacy trump any right to free speech.

I share the concern, thought I've already said that limiting demonstrations
at funerals seems like a reasonable limit to free speech. On reflection I am
not so sure, but it seems as though a funeral is the last chance the living
have to honor the deceased so it's a little different than a weddi

I understand your intent -- protesting at funerals is just rude. That
wouldn't stop me from showing up at Phelps' funeral with a big sign that
says "He loved the man-cock", but I'm rude on occasion.
However, I have to politely disagree. If we aren't allowed to protest
at funerals, what's next

Yes you can. See the bikers? They were legally showing their disdain for the

And I hope it stays.
I am all for free speech. More so than most people. I don't think this
infringes on free speech. The demonstrators can still speak all they want.
They just aren't guarenteed a captive (and grieving) audience.
I don't believe this should be allowed for all types of events (I t

tendencies and hates himself and the world because of it.
Wisconsin just passed a law that it's illegal to demonstrate within 500 feet
(or was it yards) of a funeral. Not sure how I feel about that - I mean, I
get the sentiment - but it still seems like a first amendment issue. I have
a feeling it'll go to court.

Found, appropriately, on Fark with a HERO tag. Phelps is an ass, and I
say this based on behavior, regardless of message. I hate his message,
too, but...
