Father sues Westboro church over funeral protests heads to Supreme Court
Albert Snyder of York Pennsylvania leads a landmark legal fight against the Westboro Baptist Church over protests at his son Matthew Snyder's funeral. The case weighs First Amendment speech against privacy and emotional distress, with the Supreme Court to hear arguments later in the fall. The church plans to use a $16510 cost award to fund more demonstrations.
