  2. Snyder v. Phelps (2011) Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Question Presented: Does the First Amendment protect protesters at a funeral from liability for intentionally inflicting emotional distress on the family of the deceased? Why or why not? Explain. Respond to “In My Opinion…” in 3 to 5 lines.

  3. Snyder v. Phelps (2011) According to the U.S. Supreme Court…By a vote of 8 to 1, the Court held that the 1st Amendment shields those who stage a protest at the funeral of a military service member from liability because “speech on public issues occupies the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values” and “The placards highlighted issues of public import the political and moral conduct of the United States and its citizens, the fate of the Nation, homosexuality in the military, and scandals involving the Catholic clergy—and Westboro conveyed its views on those issues in a manner designed to reach as broad a public audience as possible.” http://www.oyez.org/cases/2010-2019/2010/2010_09_751
