I understand your point and appreciate your position, " I respectfully disagree with using this as an analogy to the first amendment argument."

O.K. Yes, the example was beyond reasonable; but, that was the intent -- to illustrate the logical weakness using a parallel extreme. It could be worse, how about necrophilia not being a crime because there is no injured party? :^)

Perhaps your position is subtly sidling toward the PC rather than embracing the inherently evil nature of the behavior? Any issue such as we see here, demonstrating at a funeral, is so obviously wrong that that should be an a priori legal assumption as with my necrophilia example.

Of course it is impossible to draw an objective legal line given subjective issues. This is one more of those unsolvable conundrum that sends everyone running in circles.

Now running in circles is fun for those paid by the hour. Follow the money trail... and at trails end we find self-serving lawyers who profit from arguing either side of one more bogus issue.
