While I fully support the Court's decision, I do hope someone snaps on those oxygen thieves. Marsellus Wallace style.

even though this church has the right to display their views on the military and its personel doesn't mean they should. If their overall goal is to impliment some kind of social/political change i don't think this is the way to do it. looks to me like their just a bunch of attention whores trying to get recognized and unfortunatly its working.

Bucks--they're precisely that. The "church" is a family of lawyers, essentially. Give 'em a google sometime.

Nonetheless, if the government can prevent them from protesting something, they can prevent us from protesting other things. The right is absolute, and the Court was right to protect that right for you and me.

Which is why the show of support from the private citizens of the PGR does not constitute censorship. Just a bunch of decent folks doing a decent thing for the families of fallen soldiers.

And I believe nothing prevents states or municipalities from passing laws on the "safe" distance for all protests (like 200 yards downrange in the middle of a rifle range). Call it a public safety issue or fire department regulation, I don't give a fig.

I can't wait until these F'r's go to meet their maker. Count me in on that protest. Someone come up with a t-shirt and banner for that event. :evil:
