On Friday, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that Albert Snyder of York, Pa., pay costs associated with Fred Phelps' appeal. Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., which held a protest at the funeral of Snyder's son, Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, in Westminster in 2006.
Daniel Foster at The Corner:
Albert Snyder — father of a Marine who died in Iraq, and plaintiff in a lawsuit against a church group which loudly protested his son's funeral — has been ordered by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals to pay nearly $17,000 in appeals costs to that group.
[...]
Summers also said that if his client can't come up with the money, the matter could go into collections, jeopardizing Snyder's property and wages.
Snyder has set up a legal fund in his son's name to help defer the costs of his campaign, and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly yesterday offered to cover Snyder's WBC-related bills.
