I agree with Tamar. Free speech is defending the indefensible and reprehensible, unfortunately in this case. I would love to see someone find a way to shut these folks down but this ain't it. It's good to see the SCOTUS stand on principles, though, although they must have been excusing themselves to puke a lot when writing their decision.
