Stop SAYING this! Goodness HN has stopped caring about facts.

This ruling was not upheld. Please stop using this example, HN.

What specific case, then? I come here to learn. Please educate.

Schenk v US was partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio.

We've come around, though, as Holmes' line of reasoning is very common today.

Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is protected by the 1A as long as it passes the Brandenburg Test of "imminent lawless action".

It's not accurate, it was an argument used in a SCOTUS case that has since been unanimously overturned.

Brandenburg v Ohio established the current standard for free speech, and it's extremely permissive.
