Just a couple of minutes after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the presidential frontrunner was ineligible to appear on the ballot, a giddy MSNBC anchor immediately started paging through the court&#8217;s opinion on-air. And after a little while, she stumbled on what I think is the single most important part of the decision. This is the portion of the ruling that isn&#8217;t about the technical definition of an &#8220;insurrection,&#8221; or about parsing whether a president is considered an &#8220;officer&#8221; of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. To be clear, as many legal experts have said, those are important aspects of the opinion, and I&#8217;ll get to them in a second.
For now, I&#8217;m referring instead to the section of the court&#8217;s opinion that addresses whether, under the First Amendment, Donald Trump can be considered a violent &#8220;insurrectionist&#8221; merely because of his political speech. This part of the ruling begins on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/19/us/politics/colorado-supreme-court-decision.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page 116</a>, and it&#8217;s particularly important because it applies to everyone. It doesn&#8217;t just affect presidential frontrunners and candidates for office. It has the potential to affect every American who engages in political speech of any kind, long after Donald Trump is gone.
