U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES JR. WROTE 101 YEARS AGO: “THE MOST STRINGENT PROTECTION OF FREE SPEECH WOULD NOT PROTECT A MAN IN FALSELY SHOUTING ‘FIRE’ IN A THEATRE AND CAUSING A PANIC … THE QUESTION IN EVERY CASE IS WHETHER THE WORDS USED ARE USED IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AND ARE OF SUCH A NATURE AS TO CREATE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.”; IF INCITING A MOB TO ATTACK THE CAPITOL ISN'T A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER THEN WHAT IS?
