Fred Phelps' Westboro Church has been ordered to pay $10.9 million to the family of a fallen marine. They picketed the funeral.
This decision would seem to bring up a great deal of constitutional, as well as legal issues.
Washburn Law Professor Bill Rich says he would be surprised if the Phelps don't win the appeal.
He also says there must be a line drawn, because if this is held up, why couldn't people sue any church for millions of dollars?
He also said he expects many more suits to be filed against the church as a result of this decision.
