Why is Snyder v. Phelps (2012) an important First Amendment case?

What will be an ideal response?


The importance of Synder v. Phelps is that it shows: (1) that the First Amendment protects someone from state court liability for things they have said; (2) that matters of "public concern," which are defined as those relating to issues of social, legal, or other community concerns, hold a high price in the protected speech area; and (3) how contextual free speech issues are when determining what can and cannot be restricted in reference to time, place, and manner.
