LINCOLN, Nebraska
The Kansas family known for protesting at the funerals for fallen American soldiers has won a legal victory in Nebraska.U.S. District Court Judge Richard Kopf gave Megan Phelps-Roper permission to desecrate the American flag and warned that she was not to be arrested.Phelps-Roper walked on the flag in Lincoln on Wednesday in a political protest."It's a way of showing that this thing, this piece of cloth that you worship, is worthless to help you," she said.Kopf ruled in favor of Phelps-Roper and against Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning. His ruling said that if Phelps-Roper's First Amendment rights were impaired, she would suffer irreparable injury.The ruling also said that Phelps-Roper's actions posed no threat to Bruning and that the attorney general's effort to stop her would be unconstitutional.
Kopf also said that while the public may not like the fact that Phelps-Roper has a constitutional right to dishonor the American flag and the Nebraska flag, the First Amendment trumps the citizenry's preference for patriotism."They're enticing people to violence and I think the government should act," said Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov.He said the ruling should have been less about free speech and more about public safety."It's using the flag as a tool to create disturbances, and that's what she's doing," Polikov said.

This so called "church" is nothing but a hate driven cult. That focuses all their time spreading hate bigotry, and antisemitism everywhere they go. They even brain wash their children into believing their crazy "beliefs" and the children are right there beside the parents yelling some of the most horrible things.

I am appalled that a judge would even say this is constitutional for her to do this. When praying or even having "Under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance has come under fire as unconstitutional. But hate is constitutional? Wow our country is so messed up and it is only getting worse. How can we get our country back on track when even our judicial system is for those who hate and want to bring this country down?
