1. And the new law could likely be ruled un-Constitutional.

The First Amendment is neither ‘unlimited’ nor ‘absolute.’

There are time, place, and manner restrictions on speech which are perfectly appropriate and Constitutional, where such restrictions are not content-based.

Local jurisdictions - such as public universities - have the authority to establish speech venue restrictions out of concern for public safety, for example, having nothing to do with the content of the speech; restrictions that could very well be upheld by the courts, invalidating the Colorado measure.
