SCOTUS 2010.01 ~ Religious Hate Speech

Jacob Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday

The Supreme Court of the United States opens it new session with a case that rubs us to the core of our constitutional rights...I hate it, but I side with free speech. It's inanely ugly and horrible and this is the most extreme example I have ever seen, but it proves the adage that "sticks and stones.....but words never hurt me." Words hurt and define the speaker, not the hearer. There lies the magic!~
