The Washington Post photographs…

UD‘s friend (she met him through her sister, the Morrissey fanatic) Pete Dilima, with the Westboro Baptist Church people behind him.

The Supreme Court is dealing with a case against the church even as we speak.

A scene from protests and counter-protests in front of the Supreme Court building.

… Just after 8 a.m., Jacob Phelps, 27, held up a sign that read “Thank God for Dead Soldiers.” He was surrounded by local college students such as Alex Yudelson, 18, a George Washington freshman.

“This nation will be no more once we’re gone!” said Phelps, a Target warehouse worker and grandson of the Rev. Fred W. Phelps, who founded Westboro Baptist Church.

“Where did you go to college?” Yudelson asked, as he and other students laughed.

“Washburn University,” Phelps said earnestly. “I actually graduated.”

Moments later, Sam Garrett, 18, another GWU freshman, clad in only sneakers, tight boxer briefs and flashy white Diesel sunglasses, approached Phelps. He was carrying a sign that read, “Fred Phelps wishes he were hot like me!”…

That’s my GW.
