The big legal event of recent days was former president Donald Trump’s guilty
verdict — so momentous it overshadowed a unanimous Supreme Court decision on the
First Amendment. Yet the court’s 9-0 ruling in National Rifle Association v.
Vullo was a positive development in two ways: it showed that the fractious
justices can still unite around certain basic constitutional principles; and the
constitutional principle they rallied behind in this case was the sacred one of
free speech.
