Even for the ACLU, this one is a new low, as far as I'm concerned.

FRANKFORT, Ky.
Portions of a new Kentucky law intended to prevent protesters from disrupting funerals for soldiers killed in Iraq are unconstitutional, the American Civil Liberties Union said in a federal lawsuit filed Monday.
<<Snip>>
But it is so broad that people could unknowingly violate it by stopping to chat on a public sidewalk near a funeral home, Lili S. Lutgens, an ACLU attorney in Louisville. It also could prevent pro- military groups from participating in counter-protests outside memorial services, she said. |
ACLU Challenges Ky. Funeral Protest Law
Uh, did the attorney realize that if morons like the Westboro group were not protesting our brave soldiers funerals, there would be no reason for a "counter protest?"
Sorry, but protesting a familes personal loss from combat is not a freedom of speech issue, as far as I'm concerned. Someone's personal grief from losing a loved one and them receiving appropriate honors is a private and personal matter and no one should be allowed to protest that, for any reason.
If the ACLU is so worried about freedom of speech, why are they not opposing Hate Speech laws instead of trying to compound a familes grief over losing a loved one? |

ACLU is an abomination.

I sure feel sorry for those ACLU folks.
What must it be like to go throught life being mean, nasty, hateful and without God?
I sure don't want to know either.
