I think I may have a COnstitutional Amendment that the right and left can agree on. The text reads as follows:

-Proposed Amendment-
The First Amendment protection of Free Speech no longer applies to the Westboro Baptist Church and any churches formed from it.

What do you yall think?

unfortunately, i can't agree.

WBC may be the scum of the earth but I can't rationalize curbing anyone's freedom of speech, no matter how offensive, as long as it's not impairing anyone else's freedom of speech.

As much as I really dislike these guys, I'd have to disagree. Even unpopular speech should be protected.

I will say this on that. There is a right to free speech and assembly. There is also a right to privacy. One should not out weigh the other and this would allow for a stay or restraining order against both parties so that neither could interfere with the other. I am certain that the folks attending Robin Williams funeral would have no qualms about staying away from Westboro's church.
