Some will say this is a free speech issue but there is accountability when it is used. No one has the right to say whatever they want without consequences if they harm someone else. Making a false accusation can lead someone to end up in court but what do you do when they hide behind their own understanding of God?

This is what they hide behind. The question is, what will the Supreme Court do? Will they honor the men and women serving this country and protect the families of the fallen or will they protect the free speech rights of this group? If they side with the haters, will they then allow other groups to drown them out in a counter protest? If this happens, what will dueling protests do to the families while they are already grieving the loss of someone they love?

Does the Westboro Baptist "Church" have a right to cause pain and suffering? Does free speech allow anyone to cause pain and suffering or does it allow law suits to hold them accountable?
