- "Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike
- at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling
- effects, as is presses for acceptance of an idea. That is
- why freedom of speech is protected against censorship or
- punishment unless shown likely to produce a clear and present
- danger of a serious and substantive evil that arises far above
- public inconvenience, annoyance, or unrest. There is no room
- under our constitution for a more restrictive view."
