LINCOLN, Neb. (ABP) -- A federal judge has granted a temporary
restraining order blocking the arrest of a member of a controversial
Baptist church for breaking a Nebraska law against desecrating the
American flag.
The order by United States District Judge Richard Kopf allowed Megan
Phelps-Roper, a member of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., to
hold the flag upside down and trample it at protests near the State Capitol and a funeral in
Lincoln, Neb., July 6, without fear of arrest.
The judge said Phelps-Roper would "suffer irreparable injury"
without an injunction because her "fundamental rights" would be lost
for a day in that she would be unable to express herself in ways she
deemed most effective without subjecting herself to prosecution.
