In 2011, the Supreme Court Allowed Members of the Westboro

In 2011, the Supreme Court allowed members of the Westboro Baptist Church to picket the funerals of American soldiers, despite their use of harsh, insulting language on signs, because the Court:

A) ruled that the First Amendment protects even hurtful and offense political speech.
B) struck down the fighting words doctrine, which banned deliberatively provocative language in certain settings.
C) asserted that the church's actions were protected under the First Amendment's free exercise clause.
D) suggested that the church's picket was protected speech, religious expression, and peaceable assembly.
