Come on, you knew that liberals like Roberts, Scalia and Thomas were going to rule like this...uh...wait.

Seriously this confirms what I’ve always thought about Palin. I understand where she’s coming from, truly, I do. I secretly hope that someone throws a grenade through a window of their bus. If it were to happen, I’d get out of jury duty because I’d honestly tell the judge (I don’t believe in nullification) that I could not convict because I’m horribly biased against Wesboro.

That’s where Palin is coming from, and I get the emotional response. However, as a grownup, I realize that a dispassionate application of the law has to side with Westboro. Palin, obviously does not, or in her case, I would wager simply cannot understand it.

So Justice Alito did not engage in a “dispassionate application” of the law...?

For what it's worth, Mark Levin -- who knows more about constitutional law than either of us -- agrees with Palin.

Horse droppings. You really believe Governor Palin doesn't understand the issue or the 1st Amendment?
