In Terminiello v. Chicago (1949), the Supreme Court narrowed the scope of what constitutes fighting words. The Court found that words which produce a clear and present danger are unprotected (and are considering fighting words), but words which invite dispute and even cause unrest are protected (and are not considered fighting words).

Wait. This means that art with lewd, obscene, or profane content is not protected?
And exactly what is “lewd, obscene, or profane” is not actually defined in the law.
Surely that’s never been abused in the past. No, sir.
Republicans can’t read.
They certainly won’t, in any case. Just look at how they talk about the Constitution, history, religion…
For people who seem to consistently break the law, you’d think they would want to know what their rights actually are.
Only speech.
Write is not speech!
