Freddie Phelps and inbreeders at it again
OMAHA, Neb. - A member of the Westboro Baptist Church, which protests at soldiers' funerals, is appealing a federal judge's decision dismissing a part of her lawsuit against the state of Nebraska claiming its ban on flag mutilation is unconstitutional.

Shirley Phelps-Roper's attorney Margie Phelps, who is also a member of the Topeka, Kan.-based church, filed a notice of appeal to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp ruled last week that Phelps-Roper, 52, can proceed with a federal lawsuit challenging Nebraska's funeral protest law, but she dismissed part of the lawsuit challenging the state's flag-mutilation law. Smith Camp said those arguments can be raised during a criminal case in state court involving Phelps-Roper, and don't need to be addressed in her federal lawsuit.

4. Can you even IMAGINE how many people are going to be on hand when Fred kicks?
They don't make cemetery drives big enough to hold that many protesters!

5. 11 of Phelps children are lawyers
As such they have a knack for hopelessly tying up lawsuits against them.
