Supreme Court to weigh in on free speech during funerals.

[Drachen]

Their message might not be specifically against the war, but why do they only protest at MILITARY funerals? Is God only punishing the military members by letting them get killed? What about Policemen and Firemen - if their God is so against sexuality, why is it only the military people that are punished?

Visibility.

[Blake]

Says who?

You:

They dont make law. But law cant be written comprehensively to include every potential scenario that it will be applied to.

Judges have to apply the law, not make the law. There is an enormous difference in the two.

nice job of clarifying it for yourself.

This is what I said from the start.

In thousands of cases, the court has to weigh the interests of the parties. You call this "making law?"

why would a civil or criminal court weigh the interest of the parties in this case?

Did you read/understand the first sentence of the article?

(CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in a legal battle that pits the privacy rights of grieving families and the free speech rights of demonstrators.

[MannyIsGod]

Right to privacy is not being infringed upon. They're free to proceed in private as they see fit on private property as they do. No interpretation of the freedom of privacy extends to public land near where you are AFAIK.

the court doesn't really weigh the interest of the parties, but I'm sure you'd try to spin in a way that helps you feel you've won another e-argument.

I don't know who told you that the more jpegs you post, the more of an e-winner you are, but they're e-right!
