I know a few vice presidential candidates who should read this.

The conclusion to Liar in a Crowded Theater.

That extract alone doesn't make it clear that the original opinion has been overruled. To find that out (from your post) you'd have to go to @jkosseff.bsky.socialbsky.app/profile/jkos...

No, “fire in a crowded theater” is not a First Amendment test. It was a bad metaphor in a 1919 Supreme Court opinion upholding the imprisonment of a draft critic. That opinion was overruled in 1969.

I still think that shouting fire in a crowded theater is not protected speech though.
