Westboro Baptist Church v. the People

Westboro Baptist Church v. the People is an ongoing High Court case concerning the legality of picketing the funerals of the dead by the Westboro Baptist Church in light of laws on reverence to the deceased and the Zekian Civil Contract articles on freedom of expression. The People, that is the citizens of Zekia, are united as one body to challenge the WBC's actions on legal grounds and to request that the government issue an injunction against the WBC or enact a law prohibiting "protests, sit-ins, and other social disturbances in the area wherein a funeral is being held, in pursuance of the RTTDA". The WBC, however, argues that its protests are protected by the Contract. The Court is discussing to this day.
==History of the protests==
The Westboro Baptist Church has picketed several funerals.
==Grievances of the People==
The People state that "the protests are irreverant to the deceased and to the living and are performed counter to rules of common decency." They say that although free speech shall not be restricted, the assemblies may be required to move to safe spaces.
