What about the rest of us? Veterans' graves are hallowed grounds but civilian graves aren't? If you're gonna limit protesting at funerals why not all funerals?
A bad law. Our First Amendment right is more important to me than keeping the peace at an outdoor funeral. Westboro is crazy, obviously. But aren't there legitimate reasons that somebody might want to protest at a military funeral? I can think of several. And there were already reasonable restrictions in place like keeping a certain distance and no loudspeakers and that sort of thing.
