One could reword that. "An attack on someone's hurtful speech today is an attack on everyone's hurtful speech tomorrow."
If one doesn't consider any speech to be hurtful, the conclusion is rather obvious. If one does, you get to a different place.
If one is the pope, and can write a papal bull settling the hurtful question, one can create a world where the question is obvious and answered.
The question seems to be who is the pope.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
