[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 1474780, member: 4333"] I've only read the first page so what I'm about to write may have already been noted by others. First, I believe it is a basically good ruling because the true test of freedom of speech as a human right is if you support it regardless of the message. Second, rights come with responsibilities. WBC fails this test, IMO. When your alligator mouth overloads your mockingbird @$$, you might suffer some consequences, i.e. WBC, meet Louisville Slugger... Third, WBC is not a "church" IMO - the membership is mostly made up of Phelps' extended family. "Cult" would be the more correct word. This has no bearing on the case at hand but I think context requires full disclosure. [/QUOTE]
