An upcoming Supreme Court case considers to what degree a speaker’s intent must be taken into account before determining whether a statement is a “true threat” worthy of punishment.
Legal experts argue that ignoring intent could undermine First Amendment protections for speech ranging from online jokes to religious expression.
“We are seeing an increase of ‘speech is violence’ rhetoric in our society, particularly in higher education, and it is critical that the Supreme Court not embrace this arbitrary concept and instead reiterate the First Amendment’s broad protections for free speech,” Travis Barham, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Supreme Court’s definition of a “true threat” in an upcoming case could have broad implications for a range of speech from online jokes to religious expression, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Justices will soon hold oral arguments for Counterman v. Colorado, which asks how a speaker’s intent should be considered when they are accused of making a “true threat” — speech that is unprotected by the First Amendment. It’s a question of importance for a range of different people — religious freedom, child advocacy, and civil liberties groups have all filed friend of the court briefs.
