25. As 'disgusting' as that decision might seem, the Supreme Court made the right decision
For them to rule against Westboro would open a can of worms when it comes to what is protected free speech and what isn't.
Don't get me wrong, I can't stand those slimey folks from Westboro but I would have been pissed if the Supreme Court ruled against the first amendment.
Hopefully more states like Maryland will create laws that will allow Westboro to protest but keep them away from funerals and other somber events.
