    Governor Jerry Brown just turned out to be one of the dumbest pieces of shit in the position of Governor. I don't care if the SC upheld it, I personally think he made himself look like such a tool.

    Edit: Though I do sorta see Liam's point...

    This is America, and while I opposed the legality of the WBC, this is a prime example of our free speech in this country, and I wouldn't try to completely change that.

    Even though it hurts me to say it, they have the right to do it. It's not morally right in my opinion but there is nothing we can do about it, and unfortunately people like that do exist.

    The only reason I'm frankly not more furious was because of course the value of free speech. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Thankfully, the rest of us still have free speech rights to call Westboro a bunch of cocks.
