The "fire in a theater" example is the most overused and misunderstood argument and I hate how people use it to argue against civil liberties.

You mean like local governments and jurisdictions passing laws to prevent harmful speech like "fire" in a theater? There is over 100 years of history of laws being passed to prevent harmful speech. You don't get to say something that harms people any more than you get to smoke a cigarette right next to me.

No, I mean the case people are quoting was overturned. For being unconstitutional.
