Amicus Briefs In Snyder v. Phelps Now Filed With Supreme Court

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Last week, the remainder of the amicus briefs in Snyder v. Phelps were filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. (Links to Briefs from SCOTUS Wiki, plus additional amicus brief not linked there.)

(See prior posting.) Fifteen amicus briefs have been filed-- 5 supporting Matthew Snyder's family, 7 supporting Westboro Church's rights, and 3 in support of neither party. Yesterday's York (PA) Daily Record reports on why the 7 groups supported Westboro even though they strongly disagreed with the substance of its message.
