Hard cases raise hard questions. Take, for example, Snyder v. Phelps.1 That case involved picketing by protestors from the Westboro Baptist Church on public grounds near the funeral of Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, who died in Iraq in the line of duty. His father, offended by the demonstrators’ signs, sued Westboro for intentional infliction of emotional distress and other claims. A jury awarded him millions of dollars in damages, but the Supreme Court found the speech protected and reversed the verdict.
