The "Yelling fire in a theater" exception comes from the Supreme Court case Schneck v US, where it was used to ban speaking against the draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States This was overturned in Brandenburg v Ohio, which held that hateful speech is protected by the First Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio
