#1 Well good, but WTF? Is a law necessary? I'll take Deacon, Ace and friends.

#2 Bah. This will go all the way to the Supreme Court. And Fred Phelps will win, with his new buddies, the ACLU.

#3 There protests are a way for Phelps and his spawn to make money. All 6(?) of his brood are lawyers and were licking their chops at the thought of citizens going off on them. With this law, Phelps is now place under financial jeopardy. Best that can be hope under the circomstances.

#5 Wonder if this law will also apply to the lovely Code Pink freaks that protest outside the VA with ourageous signs?

#6 Colorado has a new law that went into effect May 26, 2006. The law requires protesters to stay back 100 feet from a funeral and people using bullhorns could be kept 150 feet away. It makes interfering with a funeral a misdemeanor punishable by three to 12 months in jail and a fine of $1,000. Each mourner can also sue to recover damages up to $1,000 plus attorney fees.

Seafarious,the ACLU in Colorado said it won't challenge the law until authorities try to enforce it. They went after Kentucky over a similar law earlier this month. So you're right to expect Phelp's buddies to work their way to up to SCOTUS.

#7 C-low, the act doesn't cover the situation you describe. See DarthVader's suggestion at # 4. :)

#8 Sea, could be an interesting case for the Supremes. Will the Roberts' court try to make new law or simply interpret it (as in accordance with the Constitution)?

#9 Should have signed a law allowing the use of baseball bats on moonbats protestors. Could call it the MFP (Moonbat Funeral protestor) hunting season. DV could bag his limit plus a few reportrs for good measure.

#10 Let me get this right. Judges have issued restraining orders on spouses and on groups protesting around abortion clinics, but the legislative branch can't do basically the same thing? Something is wacked here [Yeah, I know, the judiciary and the ACLU]. I expect his new law to be enforced about as effectively as our border security. It'll take 'vigilantes' to get the government to do their job.

#11 simply remove the police presence and don't respond to calls. Once every one of these geniuses suffers from fatal axe-handle headache , call in the ME. "They're dead, Jim"

#12 Personally, I think the lost art of tarring and feathering should be brought back (including any ACLU pukes who try to interfere.) If that fails, then I ditto Frank.

#13 I told my brother and buddies that if I get whacked in Iraq and these assholes show up to my funeral they are to quickly and quietly set down my casket and commence the ass kicking of a lifetime on these jokers. Once said ass-whipping has been dealt out then said ceremony should reconvene as if nothing ever happened. That will be written into my will.
