Indiana Takes on Westboro Baptist

There's a bill moving between the houses of Indiana statehouse that will make protests at funerals illegal in the state of Indiana. This is squarely aimed at stopping Rev. Fred Phelps and his followers from gate crashing funerals with their "God Hates Fags" demonstrations.

The bill passed the upper house by a 47-1 margin and will probably sale through the lower house with a similar margin, but I doubt it will come close to passing constitutional muster.

Phelps just is going to be a cross that we'll all have to bear.
