The prosecutor will simply ask if the First Amendment guarantees a right to cry fire in a crowded theater to illustrate that while our BOR is sacred, it does not guarantee unfettered rights.

And the defense can argue right back that there is no Bureau of Copiers, Printing Presses and Word Processes

Bad logical argument on the part of the prosecution.

And the prosecution can simply point to the thousands of laws which infringe on the freedom of speech, such as requiring licenses for almost all aspects of print for sale, broadcast, and permits to assemble. There are also laws against libel, and hate language laws are cropping up all over. I could go on, but I would suggest the defense needs a tad better argument than that.
