If they're on private property, they can be arrested for trespassing. If they're on a military installation, same thing. If they're on open public property, already defined by the courts as a public forum, the law won't pass the test.



Yeah well... we already change the rules for the dead (stop signs and red lights for the funeral procession) so if that means that public property becomes Military property for the duration of the funeral then so be it!!! Plus the federal government ALREADY has the power to "take" private property (eminant domain) they can just "take" the entire route and the cemetary, church, and such...then return it at the end of the cerimony....

Sorry Bill I understand FULLY your defence of the first amendment and I hear what your saying...

But these people are never going to get me to defend their right to desicrate the funeral of a fallen Military fighter....

But as I stated in my first post on this it's only a matter of time before the ACLU or some other group challenges this in court!

Plus the federal government already tweeked part of the first amendment...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... didn't they ban prayer in public school (thanks to the ACLU the same a$$holes who want to get rid of the "pleadge of allegiance") after all we (in our "glorious" P.C.ness) wouldn't want to offend anyone...unless it gives us some "air time" defending those who offend others!

Now I have to bow out of this (for a time) because these sh!theads and "stupid" ACLU fights (not you or your oppinion) are really p!ssing me off and I'm starting to rant and rave and getting WAY of track...next thing is I'll be typing in al CAPS and pounding the keys and I'll prob break the {.} key...so lets finish this by reminding me that MJ still has the publishing rights to the Beatles song book and I'll go sulk over a beer and pizza!
