Alito and the 1st amendment
#18
I've always viewed the shouting fire in a movie theater thing to be short hand for "maliciously and knowingly inciting undue panic that is likely to cause harm or damage."

I didn't even personally know there were actual cases behind it haha.

A SC justice should know the history of it and know better etc, but since it has become such well known short hand, I imagine he was appealing to the common person with that statement rather than the legal scholars.
