This is significant in terms of precedent - if the ruling stands, it's dramatically less likely the argument will work in his other lawsuits.
- sorta. what is at issue here is that the actions in question are after he held the office. that isn't a trivial difference.
  
  It goes beyond that. Some of the statements were made while in office, but the judge ruled that those particular statements weren't protected either.
