It's defending the right to free speech for those who appall you the really shows if you believe in that principle or not. The beautiful thing is that that right being enshrined in the law also means that people have the freedom to speak AGAINST the things the WBC say. Their freedom is the price we pay for everyone else to have freedom of speech, too.

most of the people in that church are actually lawyers, that's why they keep getting away with their hateful funeral protests, find out how they defend themselves, then maybe one day you can finally stop them and arrest their leaders and save their poor children from a lifetime of learning nothing but hate

Unlike what everyone is mentioning, you can choose your clients when you're a lawyer. Fyl to the max!

No such thing as an ex-marine... look alive devil dog !

NebbThe only way to get past this is write your paper defending these douchebags, while pointing out every hypocritical thing they have said and done. **** those assholes, and of your teacher has a problem with it, send the **** to me, a 101st airborne veteran, and general asshole.

There are no FORMER marines. :D

This is when people find out the truth... None of the Amendments to the Constitution are absolute. The truth of the Constitution is that is modified by the original concepts of this nation.. the right to a balance of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

How are you a former Marine? I thought its was once a Marine always a Marine!?!

I would refuse to do it, on the grounds of a conflict of interest due to background beliefs. The should be understanding to the fact... shouldn't they? : /

Thank you for your service.
