"The church's outrageous conduct caused petitioner great injury..."

Sorry Justice Alito but that's the same rationale used by Courts in England to fine and imprison people for criticizing homosexuality. No thanks.

I was quite surprised at Justice Alito’s “Great Injury” argument. I would have expected that from the liberal side of the Court, but from Alito?

We all dislike Fred Phelps and his group, but if Alito’s argument were to win the day, anyone who claims “great injury” will limit everyone else’s right to speak.

Twaddle!

No one says that people don't have a right to criticize the military. But they do not have a right to do so at a private venue.

I wonder if you think these schmucks could also make what ever noise is necessary to disturb the regular Saturday morning services at my synagogue.

The Court's decision is an outrage; but we've become inured to that.
