Stretching The Amendments

The article, Anti-gay church's right to protest at military funerals is upheld was very interesting to me, because it put our government in a position to decide a verdict without using morals and what’s ethical and just using the first amendment rights. The article talks about how a Kansas church protested at a military funeral, because they “believed US soldiers deserved to die because they fight for a country that tolerates homosexuality”. The Synder’s family sued the church for the pain they caused during the funeral. The church appealed the case to The Supreme Court and won, arguing they were simply practicing their “freedom of speech; first amendment”. America is at a time where we must stand together no matter our differences. If other countries view us as weak and we’re unstable they are going to see it as an opportunity to take advantage of us. As American’s we should stick together and help protect the people who fight for our country. I disagree with how justice was served, especially because these are religious people who were slandering the name of this young soldier. Homosexuality is irrelevant to this soldier’s death and it doesn’t take a genius to know that.
