Supreme Court Creates Fighting-Words First-Amendment Exception
|
6.1
An analysis traces the U.S. Supreme Court's 1942 Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire decision, which created the vague 'fighting words' exception to the First Amendment, to contemporary debates over punishing offensive speech. It notes recent statements by Vice President J.D. Vance after an ICE-related killing and politicians urging prosecutions, and explains how the doctrine still influences lower courts and public-policy disputes about speech restrictions.
