God Hates Kansas

Judge: State ban on protests at military funerals unconstitutional

So the gist is this:  That crazy Westboro "God Hates Fags" Baptist Family Church was picketing military funerals with their hilarious signs, and Kansas passed a law banning protests at military funerals.  A federal judge has rightly overturned the over-broad law, and Conservatives are up in a tizzy since they only care about civil liberties when it applies to them.

Again, this is why state's rights are stupid, because states are (somehow) even dumber than the federal government.  We just shouldn't let morons like Kansas be able to pass laws at all. 

The simple solution would have been to send a cop to these funerals -- where they expected protests -- and arrest the protesters for disturbing the peace.  The crazies can then try to argue free speech and be shot down since holding up a sign that says "Thank God for IEDs" in front of the grieving friends and family of a dude killed by an IED is not protected speech.

But no, these fucktards had to go pass an unconstitutional law where no law was even required, get it shot down, and make a federal judge who is trying to preserve our civil liberties look like a jerk in front of all uneducated Americans.  Thanks a lot, Kansas.
