Meh. I don't support the Westboro Baptist Church protesting funerals, I'd hardly support anyone protesting these funerals.

How is this not ruled as unconstitutional given that the first amendment blatantly states our freedom to assemble?

I'm not condoning the reasoning behind said protest, but they ought to have every right to do so if they want to.

I doubt this ban will be effective; people will protest if they feel the need to do so.

Possible false flag in the works? The likelihood of this situation escalating seems high, especially with the number of high ranking politicians that will be present.

@RedHawk , this might be better located in v/news .. Why not post it there too? :D
