Court strikes down Nebraska's funeral picketing ban

You I have to wonder where they family is getting all lits money, to travel across the county as they do.

OMAHA -- A federal appeals court struck down a Nebraska law on Thursday that keeps protesters several hundred feet away from a funeral or memorial service.

A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling by a lower federal court against members of Westboro Baptist Church, relying on its 2008 ruling in a Missouri case that said peaceful protests near funerals are protected by the First Amendment's right to free speech.

Thursday's opinion came in an appeal of a lawsuit filed by Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of the founder of the Topeka, Kan.-based group that regularly protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers. Phelps-Roper had asked for a preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the law, saying it was unconstitutional.
