The reference to Cohen vs. California is interesting.<br>
<br>
1. wikipaedia sez: regarding that expression of speech<br>
"First, states (California) cannot censor their citizens in order to
make a “civil” society. Second, knowing where to draw the line
between harmless heightened emotion and vulgarity can be difficult.
Third, people bring passion to politics and vulgarity is simply a
side effect of a free exchange of ideas—no matter how radical they
may be."<br>
<br>
2. here is a recent review of that case by a clerk who participated
in the writing of harlan's majority opinion.<br>
