A Supreme Court decision prompted me to introduce House Bill 941.

For a threat to be considered a criminal act and not protected speech, a person must act recklessly,  Justice Kagan wrote for the majority in Counterman v. Colorado.

I was tempted to remind the committee that the Supreme Court has also used the recklessness standard in libel law.

But the legislature is not a law school class.

If you have your case won, sit down and shut up.

I learned that in law school.
