What the reaction to Phelps & Family should be
They should all be arrested, and evaluated, to see if they are compatible with society.
IMHO no, they should not be arrested, simply laughed at.

Re: Insane?
You don't think they exibit classic symptoms of cults? When does it cross over into delusion and insanity?
Sure, just like the 700 Club or Gene Scott's cult or those following Wyatt or any of the MegaChurches.
Do we have a right to be protected from insane people? What's the line?
I think the line is probably at physical violence.
If it's one person it is easy to say {delusional\insane}, but it can be genetic eh?
Yeah, but they also seem to attract folk that marry into the zoo so it is less likely that it is directly genetic.
It would be an interesting approach if they were arrested for anything to have the court investigate whether they are mentally competent to stand trial.
I'm not sure at all that they could be found sane enough to stand trial.
