I think by the end of the semester, everyone in the class will have nicknames. So far we have Mr. Gun Freak and Mr. Porn. *amused forever*

It was kind of depressing. It was a huge thing a few years ago-these people were gathering outside a church while there was a funeral for soldiers-and they were using protests such as "God hates fags" and the like, both by using signs and actually approaching funeral attendees and telling such things to their faces. Obviously cruel, no one would condone it, and such and such. But, through the work of a family's worth of skilled lawyers, this case was elevated from a small issue in church to being held up against the Senate-could the church actually prevent and regulate such things? Doing so was an obvious blow against the first amendment, and it could seriously open the door to even more restrictive rulings.
