Quoting Salon.com on anything even remotely connected to the Bush administration is a lot like quoting coyotes on the topic of chicken security.
What if there is really a fire ....For example, just for the heck of it, yell "Fire." in a crowded theater and see how you fare. Need I list other examples of "reasonable restrictions" on an individual's right to say what he pleases anywhere he pleases?

"Words which, ordinarily and in many places, would be within the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment may become subject to prohibition when of such a nature and used in such circumstances a to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils which Congress has a right to prevent. The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done."
