"Resort to epithets or personal abuse is
not in any proper sense communication of information or opinion safeguarded by the Constitution, and its punishment as a criminal act would raise no question
under that instrument.' Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U.S. 296 , 309-310, 906.' 315 U.S., at 571 -572. (Footnotes omitted.) "

"The preservation of the right of free
and robust speech is accorded high priority in our society and under the Constitution. Yet, there are other significant values. One of the hallmarks of a civilized society
is the level and quality of discourse. We have witnessed in recent years a disquieting deterioration in standards of taste and civility in speech."
