[7]Steve Six Joins Attorneys General to Argue Snyder v. Phelps
The brief has been posted online at
http://www.ksag.org/files/09-751_Amicus_Brief_FINAL.pdf. The nation's high
court is slated to hear arguments in the case on Wednesday.
WIBW – October 4, 2010
TOPEKA – Kansas Attorney General Steve Six, joined by Attorneys General from
47 other states and the District of Columbia, is concerned the appeals court
decision in Snyder v. Phelps could put funeral pickeing laws at risk. In his
amicus brief in support of Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder’s family’s
case against the Phelps family and Topeka based Westboro Baptist Church,
Attorney General Six argues that in the context of private funerals, the
privacy rights of a captive audience of funeral goers trump the Phelpses’
right to free speech.
