The American Center for Law and Justice has also announced that efforts are underway to thwart the protest, and protect the sanctity of the memorial services. They believe that there have been several recent court decisions that will be helpful in their effort.

These are the same twisted people who not only picketed the funerals of gays and fallen soldiers, but threatened to picket the funerals of the Amish children that were brutally murdered.

These people (I can't bring myself to call them a church) are predominantly made up of one family. Their message is that America is being punished for demonizing them and for "her sodomite sins."

It is unconscionable to me that anyone could exploit this kind of loss, let alone bring more pain to a grieving family. No one should have the right to make a mockery of someone else's greif like this.

I saw one of their members on Fox try to defend her position that the Amish girls deserved to die. She was the hardest, coldest women I have ever seen.

It must be torture to live in a body so filled with hate and doom.

I hope they will not turn these funerals into a circus. (As they have so many others.)
