“The “fire in a crowded theater” standard is intended to limit government intrusion on free speech, not enable an expansion of it”
Wrong,,, in the Schneck (sp?)case, the precise issue at hand was whether or not it was legal to encourage people to avoid the draft in WWI. The court ruled that speech opposed to the draft in WWI was akin to yelling “fire in a crowded theater”
So that case was precisely used to support an expansion of government into free political speech. And Breyer isn’t an idiot,,,by referencing that case he is telling you that he does not believe in free speech in all political matters. He is a statist.
I didn’t make the comment you were responding to, but I like what you said anyway.
