2. Had to look it up...

Primary Holding
A state may not forbid speech advocating the use of force or unlawful conduct unless this advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.

Yep, he's right on that line.

4. If he gave the same speech in Lafayette Park he likely crossed it.

3. Case?

Quick synopsis please.

5. Brandenburg V Ohio

The government can only prohibit speech that presents a clear and present danger.

Thank you

7. That decision will need to be modified.

As long as the phrase "peacefully and patriotically" is included in the incitement, you're good to go.

10. Needs to be modified to handle stochastic terrorism.

8. What's more imminent than attacking the FBI & death threats?
