Phelps is a leach. He engages in deliberately provocative speach and actions in order to elicit a response which he and his brood can then use as a pretext for legal action. Moronic judges who fail to understand the difference between protecting unpopular speach and facilitating the Phelps scam continue to rule in his favor at least often enough to allow him to keep going. I realize that our system is not perfect but this just defies reason.
