deal...... $19k. 5-4 vote to uphold or overturn wins. :tu

fyi....the case is set for sometime in October....

elbama: Sorry. I am real tired and don't know how to ask this.
What makes you so sure they will overturn it? Is it just because this looks like a conservative rally cry? Is this pretty open and shut for conservative justices to put right to privacy over speech and assembly? With Kennedy being the swing, I would like to see what he votes. Actually I hope Sotomayor gets to write the opinion for whomever she votes with.

I am pretty ignorant but I thought this kind of stuff was already outlawed but apparently not or maybe not under these circumstances. How do you think the Supreme Court should rule here? I think it should definitely favor Snyder's family.

I don't own a gun myself actually... I don't trust myself with one in the house and a kid around. If my kid's half as curious as me, he'd find a way to get to it!

But I want neighbors to have guns, and maybe even a few so I can borrow one, in case of apocalypse, government takeover, or those giant Tremors worm thingies being real. :)

I will make sure to make a note of it in my will in case I die before then.

Oh, I think oral arguments are set for October, we might not actually get an answer for a few months after that.

He's convinced me that what he does is not something he is in control of or aware of, and so I won't accuse of being deliberately deceitful...nontheless, it's pointless to argue with him so for him, it's going to be pointless to argue with me. He can expect that same response every time he makes a post to me until I see he has overcome his disability.

Salut.

Hard to say how this will play out, but this is promising:

Quote:

---

The justices appeared inclined to set a limit to freedom of speech when ordinary citizens are targeted with especially personal and hurtful attacks. The 1st Amendment says the government may not restrict free speech, but it is less clear when it shields speakers from private lawsuits.

---

Quote:

---

Justices Anthony M. Kennedy and Stephen G. Breyer, usual defenders of the 1st Amendment, said they thought people could be sued for outrageous personal attacks.

---

Quote:

---

Kennedy said “certain harassing conduct” was not always protected as free speech. “Torts and crimes are committed with words all the time,” he said, referring to legal wrongs that result in lawsuits. “The 1st Amendment doesn’t stop state tort law in appropriate circumstances,” Breyer added.

Supreme Court appears inclined to rule against funeral protesters

Of course, it would be entirely irresponsible to allow the class of political donors to brave the hazards of civil responsibility. Therefore we create a positive obligation of the state to shield the protected class from harm.

They are now going to protest elizabeth edwards' funeral.

when one of those protesters has a funeral of their own the military should conduct war games at the grave site.

Or just march a gay Sousa band in to solemnly mark the occasion.

Maybe some dudes in black banana hammocks for the requisite gravitas.

I'll be taking all of your spurstalk cash now, thanks.

Bill O'Riley says he will pick up the tab for
the legal fees.

Terrible. Even if you are religious, you can't be doing this.


Very disrespectful.

If these turds were on such a mission to protest our military they would go out front of the bases in afghanistan and iraq! Im sure the taliban would greet all of them with orange jump suits and video camera

Fox Hosts Hate-Church Lawyer Who Claims Obama Is ‘The Beast Spoken Of In The Revelation’

QUESTION: So the justices are going to Hell? The President is going to Hell?

PHELPS: Absolutely on the President. That’s a big ten-four. I already answered on the justices. The President is going to be king of the world before this is all said and done and he is most likely the Beast spoken of in the Revelation.

Therefore, ALL CHRISTIANITY is just like the Phelps gang.

(Islamophobe "reasoning" applied to Christians.)

If I had to make an educated guess sooner or later one of these families is going to have a member who totally snaps and goes machine gun Kelly on this Westboro Baptist church vomit.

I will applaud them when they do.
