Limits to the First Amendment:

Yelling fire in crowded theater.

Terrorists using a religion to hide among non-terrorists.

Point is, it doesn’t matter whether the terrorists have Constitutional rights or not.

Because even if they do, these rights come with limitations.

"Yelling fire in crowded theater"


This is NOT a limitation on the First Amendment, It's an example of "actions have consequences". It's perfectly legal to yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater so long as there is a fire.
It's the lie that's illegal, not the yelling...
