The First Amendment to the Constitution declares that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech." But not all speech is protected by the Constitution. Exceptions exist for speech that is obscene, that presents a clear and present danger, for "fighting words," or for speech intended to incite "imminent lawless action." http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/in...egal-brief

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."
OK, Let's try some "pretend it's Obama" on that. "I don't give a goddamn," Obama retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

you could phrase yelling fire in a theatre "inviting someone to use his imagination" if you wanted to be contrary, too.

8:34PM BST 03 Aug 2009 "Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service. Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicised, including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history. Most however, are kept under wraps because the Secret Service fears that revealing details of them would only increase the number of copycat attempts. Although most threats are not credible, each one has to be investigated meticulously." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...rvice.html |
