The government didn't do anything to impinge upon their first amendment rights. But the family of the soldier also has rights, and the Phelps mob violated them.

Interesting. How were the family’s rights violated?
I’m not arguing for Fred Phelps BTW. I’m truly interested in this case as it relates to the 1st Amendment. I seriously don’t think this will survive on appeal.
