U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear case on picketing funerals

Posted by Peter Rugg on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 5:05 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has announced that it doesn't want anything to do with the legal arguments over whether Missouri can pass state laws to keep vile famewhore psychopaths from picketing soldiers' funerals to get attention. I'm not naming names, but if you live here I

think you know who I'm talking about.

This is disappointing. You would think that the legal questions of how much pain and suffering someone can cause innocent bystanders versus the freedom-of-speech issue would be worthy of a hearing. The idea that anyone's speech should be limited, or that we should start down the path of banning unpopular assembly, is just bad. On the other hand, some people are truly evil motherfuckers.

Shit. Maybe that's it. If I were a judge there are some people I wouldn't want to invite to my courtroom, either.

Who's the Olan Mills photographer whose bright idea it was to stand tiny (but formidable) Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the back row with the frontcourt of Bird, Parish and McHale?
