Walls close in on Phelpses
http://www.cjonline.com/stories/040408/loc_264906171.shtml>Walls close in on Phelpses Capital Journal (Topeka, KS)

A federal judge in Maryland on Thursday ordered liens on the Westboro Baptist Church building and the Phelps-Chartered Law office.

If the case presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett is upheld by an appeals court, the church, at 3701 S.W. 12th, and the office building, at 1414 S.W. Topeka Blvd., could be obtained by the court and sold, with the proceeds being applied toward $5 million in damages Bennett imposed on church members for picketing a military funeral.

---

The records showed the church property to be worth $442,800 and the law office building to be worth $233,000. Summers said the lien could be placed on the law office building because it is owned by Phelps Sr.

Sometimes the good guys win.

2. They have done everything to earn...
...all the scorn being heaped upon them.

Good riddance, you old fart.

3. Know what would be perfect?
If the church and office were purchased by a gay rights group.

7. I brought that up yesterday
to a couple of our members. We indulged ourselves in a few fantasies and chose which building we wanted then we woke up and realized we have no money. Still, it was a happy thought.

I drove by the law offices yesterday on my way to the Capital building. I never see any activity there but yesterday there were cars all over the place.

6. Maybe this will give Freddie more time for his hobbies
Like inbreding to make sure that precious Phelps DNA doesn't get diluted mixing with outsiders.

That and the occasional tryst with a variety of small barnyard animals.
