Snyder v. Phelps was a 2011 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that a state could not enforce a law restricting protests near funerals, even if those protests are considered offensive or hurtful. The case centered around the Westboro Baptist Church, which had been protesting near military funerals, arguing that soldiers' deaths were God's punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality. The Court's ruling was based on the First Amendment's protection of free speech, even when that speech is unpopular or offensive.
