Then he went on to explain how Freedom of Speech specifically does not extend to allow one to yell fire in a crowded theater.

The limitation of yelling fire in a crowded theater is defined by the presence or absence of a fire. Absence representing a potential crime. While you refer to an early 1900s opinion, the courts today are still debating what constitutes speech (example: flag burning).

I am not interested in debating legal interpretations. This (of course) started with certain folks on the thread trying to once again stifle anything critical of the administration. I don't think there is any question that we all have the freedom to speak our disagreements with elected officials. In fact, history shows us that the suppression of dissent is often the work of fascism.
