@ArcturusSaDiablo sadly, would be struck down by even the most liberal SCOTUS as running afoul of the 1A. And while one can dream, believe me when I say that this is the trickiest amendment for which to define limitations. The biggest problem with this proposal though is something called prior restraint. It is frequently very difficult to directly connect speech to consequences. Even the criminality of yelling fire in a crowded theater is a misconception, unless it produces imminent lawlessness.
@hallmarc
We're seeing more and more cases where 1A is argued that the state does have a responsibility to curtail said expressions because of reasonable pubic safety. Not all 1A arguments are valid, not all are supported by evidence.
And if said speech can be directly linked to harm or obstruction of Government function, it can be ruled it's not protected.
