Fun fact: the "can't yell fire in a crowded theater" argument came from a Supreme Court justice explaining why it was okay to imprison people for publishing pamphlets arguing against the WW1 draft. It's not really a great choice of allusion when you're trying to convince others that you're big on free speech.

The judge later regretted the choice and said so publicly. He'd reverse that choice in a later ruling and join the minority opinion. There's a good Wikipedia article on this.
