I have mixed feelings about this. While I agree military (or other) funerals are not the place for protest, I don't think it should be handled through legislation. It's an unneccesary limit on the freedom of speech. The only reason it's a national issue is that there's one group of bozos who have no clue.
The bill isn't going to stop them, it's just going to give them a bigger national stage. Now they can take their fight to the supreme court and get more exposure. Personally, a better tactic would be for the press to unanimously ignore them. All they want is the attention, they don't care where it's coming from.
