Lawyers presented oral arguments before the nine justices of the Supreme Court in the case of Snyder v. Phelps, docket number 09-751. The case centered on First Amendment rights and public protests at military funerals. At issue was whether a church had the legal right to stage anti-gay protests at U.S. military funerals to promote its claim that God is angry at America for tolerance toward homosexuals. Albert Snyder, the father of a Marine killed in Iraq in 2006, appealed to the Supreme Court after the family’s funeral service at a Roman Catholic church in Westminster, Maryland, drew unwanted protests by members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas.

Audio of the arguments was presented with visual still images of participants. close
