came by to visit, talked about slitting her throat. talked about a kindergarten classroom. one which do i pick. i make a name for myself. jury convicted him on number of counts under federal law that bans threats. he challenged that. it was a form therapy for him. he was essentially writing out rap lyrics on his facebook page. if he is shut down essentially it will stop his first amendment rights, bill. bill: so do we think the justices will buy his argument on first amendment? how do we gauge that now? reporter: bill, i got to tell you there is a really good chance because in recent years this court has been exceptionally protective of the first amendment. we think about the things like westboro baptist church known to picket at soldiers funerals using divisive, very heated, ugly language. their right to do that has been upheld. we ve seen all kinds of protections for the first amendment. a unique array of groups are
