OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A federal judge has rejected a request to keep Nebraska authorities from enforcing a state law that prohibits picketing within 300 feet of a funeral or memorial service.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of a Kansas church that regularly protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers, had made the request for a preliminary injunction as part of her lawsuit against the state of Nebraska. The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of Nebraska's funeral protest law, as well as the state's ban on flag mutilation.
The lawsuit followed Phelps-Roper's 2007 arrest during a protest at the funeral of a National Guardsman in Bellevue. Authorities say she let her then-10-year-old son stand on an American flag and that she wore a flag as a skirt that dragged on the ground.
