"Yelling fire in a crowded theater" is a great example because it comes from a horrible Supreme Court ruling defending the arrest of someone handing out anti-war pamphlets.

I can't think of a better example of something that should be protected speech, or a better example of how "reasonable" limits will get abused.

Fortunately, that ruling has been mostly overturned by now.

A great example of..?

This comment seems more like you taking an opportunity to flex on someone in a comment instead of refuting my underlying point. That’s great the ruling this saying was used in was overturned (I’m taking your word for it) but citing that fact completely misses the point...
