What?

Did I mention "acts" or "Acts"?

I suspect you were responding to a different post by somebody else.

I was merely reinforcing (agreeing with) the point made about Breyer being off-base bringing up the "fire in a crowded theater" analogy. There is nothing in the Constitution specifically that prohibits you from doing so. But if you do so with malicious intent and harm befalls anyone or property loss occurs as a result, you are subject to criminal penalties. Criminal acts fall under the purview of criminal law.

The courts have interpreted free speech quite broadly, as we all know (e.g., flag burning). That a Justice of the USSC would fall into the PC trap of placing Quran burning beyond the reach of similar interpretation is pretty sad. We had a local story about a guy burning a "Rainbow Flag" (who could be against rainbows?) on Gay and Lesbian Pride Day. Think the ACLU stood up for his free speech rights? Fat chance. They wanted to get him for a "hate crime", but I think all they pinned on him was an illegal burning rap (no permit to burn).
