Abstract
The article focuses on the Supreme Court's decision in Counterman v. Colorado regarding the regulation of threatening speech. It discusses the debate over whether a subjective intent or recklessness standard should be applied in true-threat cases, concluding that recklessness is sufficient to restrict such speech while protecting First Amendment rights. The article also touches on the broader context of permissible restrictions on speech in categories like incitement, defamation, and obscenity.
