Good to see Congress finally do something right, but the liberals at Westboro won't like it one bit.

People regardless of party are both for and against this, can we keep the partisan hackery out of this?

Several thoughts about this.
1.)I can see where they are coming from on this and i dislike Westboro just as much as the next person
2.)But doesnt this block first amendment rights?
Does it make me a bad person for worrying about their rights?

Thoughts?
Comments?
Response?

Free speech doesn't mean standing up for the speech you agree with, but rather standing up for the speech that you disagree with. This is nothing more than government force aimed at the free exercise of our rights. For as stupid and offensive as WBC is, they were not infringing upon the rights of anyone with their idiotic protests and as such should be allowed to run their mouths.

Does slander and libel infringe on our free speech rights? Just playing devil's advocate, a little.

It's trolling, not slander or libel.
