    This is not at all correct. The issue in Schenk wasn’t whether you could or could not falsely shout fire in a crowded theater.

    You may not falsely yell fire in a crowded theater. Doing so is a criminal breach of peace.

    Schenk and Brandenberg are incitement cases. Not being able to falsely yell fire in a crowded theater is axiomatic proof that the framer’s intent wasn’t to ban limits on speech that obviously serves no valid free speech purpose, such as falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater.

    You absolutely have the right to truly yell fire in a crowded theater, though no duty to do so!

        You read it wrong. You may not falsely shout fire in a crowded theater. You obviously don’t have a lot of experience reading legal cases. It’s okay.

          I did not read it wrong. It clearly states that the 69 case narrowed the scope so shouting fire in a crowded theater is no longer unprotected.

            It doesn’t say that and that isn’t true. The first case didn’t involve a defendant who falsely shouted fire in a crowded theater.
