Kansas House passes funeral-picketing bill, awaits Senate action
The Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. - The House has passed a new funeral-picketing bill.

The 123-0 vote Wednesday continues the bill's fast track to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who says she will sign it. All that remains is for the Senate to agree with the House's version and send it to her.

A funeral-picketing law was enacted last year, but a Kansas Supreme Court ruling two weeks ago kept it from going into effect. Legislators moved quickly to re-enact the same law, minus the provision the court struck down.

The law was prompted by the Rev. Fred Phelps and his followers protesting at funerals of U.S. soldiers killed in combat.

1. take it to the O'Club. That's what the O'Club is for.

2. Learn to spell and to write coherently. In life, you will not be able to cut and paste text all the time.

HUH Since he didn't state what the law is supposed to do or even give a link to it how am i supposed to make a comment? Is the law for picketing or against? I know here in Illinois we have a law against picketing within i think 50 or 100 yards of a funeral. This was brought about by picketers at military funerals that actually marched around the funeral procession in the cemetary! Made me sick to watch that kind of garbage.

Kansas is going to sign into law prohibitions on picketing. Personally I think this is a bad thing, because it is that speech we find offensive we must defend most vigorously, but I have no doubt many of you will think this is a good thing and try to justify stripping away even more of our civil rights.

So...who thinks this is a good idea, and why?

its not about the picketing , maybe if they didnt have posters thanking god for his death becouse he was a sinner and worked for the devel and such things just becouse he was in the armor it wouldnt have gotten to the point of establising a law against it. There is such a thing as right to peace and happyness you are alowed to do anything till it infringess on anothers rights which this set of MORONs were doing hers a link to the story and tell me people should NOT be protected in there most grievious moments. And if you dont think they should becouse you think its an inaliable right to picket THERE funeral your sadly mistaken this was not free speach but pure hate mongering.

Provocational picketing at a funeral is not a free speech issue. Its an issue of safety for those doing the provocation.  You want to picket a soldiers death based upon homosexuality content? Go picket at the capitol. Last I heard its still allowed in 50 states.

Ah...but almost all picketing is done to provoke. People protesting abortions hand out pictures of an aborted fetus- people burn our flag at anti war protests- look at the Nazis marching in goose step- it's all done to provoke. Once we start limiting the scope of what is acceptable forms and places of protest we've eroded that right.

Prohibiting protesting at funerals deprives no one of a liberty they should have. Should people have the right to stage a march in a church? How about in a public school? Not protesting at funerals is just common sense and decency that shouldn't have had to be made law.

So its okay for War veterans to practice political speeches protesting against members of congress who want to pull out of Iraq at public schools then? I knew you'd eventually agree with me, most liberals do.

I am with airhead.

I also think groups like the patriot Riders are the best way to deal with them. Fight freedom with freedom.
