I see this as a win for the First Amendment.
Yeah, it's hard to see but that's what it is.

To be clear - I loathe everything Phelps and his inbred "church" stand for. I've spent many hours standing the flagline with the Patriot Guard to make sure when these turds show up to protest a funeral, the family is shielded from their vile messages.
It would seem that maybe a different tactic may be called for though. It wouldn't be too difficult to make signs of quotes taken directly from scripture to show what hypocrites and fools these WBC people are.

While scriptures clearly teach that homosexual acts are an abomination and not something we're to encourage people to take part in, they also teach that we're ALL guilty of sin.

To make a big spectacle like this at a fallen soldiers funeral is as abominable as any homosexual act or behaviour. So Phelps and his twisted crew are as dirtyfilthy as any Sodomite the world has ever encountered.

However, it's easy to protect popular speech. But upholding the right to free speech even when that speech is repulsive is the true test. Rationally, I believe the Court ruled properly on this issue. Emotionally, I'd have loved to see Phelps and his inbred little family business lose everything they have paying the judgment Mr. Snyder won in the lower court.
As I was saying, we're all guilty of sin. These arrogant antagonists will face the same judgement as the rest of us. I'm not so sure they will be rewarded in the way they are hoping to be.

In the end, the WBC will keep doing what they do - and the PGR will keep doing what we do. And we're way more successful at what we do.....

Maybe they will come to their senses, maybe they'll have a 'vision' and decide that what they're doing is of no value, has no purpose. Stranger things have happened ... though it wouldn't actually be that strange, if they actually open and read their Bibles, they will find that what they are doing is wrong.
