High court rules for anti-gay funeral protesters

PrintSmith wrote: They won't bet far with their challenges to restrictions, those have been pretty well hashed out in the courts already on other issues and are sitting on some pretty solid legal precedence. I say keep making them hire lawyers, it will deplete their traveling funds a lot quicker and keep these lunatics closer to home. The less they travel, the better off the rest of us are.

I'm on my phone right now so it's not easy to link to the story, but NPR had a story yesterday or the day before that on the church and it's members. Apparently, it's almost all family and of Phelps' 13 kids, 11 have law degrees. They claim they accept no outside donations, nor need to, because they fund all of their activities from the lawsuits that they file and win. Nothing like keeping it in the family! They also mentioned that the community uses their law services, not necessarily because they want to because they are the biggest and best game in their town so they make a good living outside the church as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that they won't be going bankrupt in court anytime soon. It was a short and interesting article, not a whole lot of info though. I'm sure a search would find it easily if you are curious to read it.
