The Supreme Court vacated a Colorado man's stalking conviction on Tuesday in a 7-2 ruling that sets new guidelines on how online harassment can be protected under the First Amendment if not a"true threat."
The majority was joined by conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, along with liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. "The Court holds that speakers must recklessly disregard the threatening nature of their speech to lose constitutional protection. Because this unjustifiably grants true threats preferential treatment, I respectfully dissent," Barrett wrote.
