The protests by Fred Phelps were done on public property near the cemeteries where soldiers are buried. Although terrible, they aren't breaking any laws.

Wrong. The ACLU attacked government sponsorship of the Boy Scouts of America, because of their religious discrimination (no homosexuals or atheists are allowed in the organization). Not once, that I'm familiar with, did the ACLU try and force the Boy Scouts to admit homosexuals or atheists.
