Similar Stories to What The Supreme Court Didn’t Say About Rap on Bing News

For months, First Amendment scholar Clay Calvert awaited the Supreme Court’s ruling on whether a threat issued on Facebook in the form of rap lyrics was indeed a threat. On Monday, Calvert got an answer, but it wasn’t nearly what he or many others in the free speech community had hoped. “It’s anti-climatic,” Calvert, a professor at the University of Florida tells TIME. The Court ruled 8-1 on Monday to overturn the conviction of Anthony Elonis, whose violent and derogatory Facebook posts about his ex-wife and the FBI were interpreted as threats.
