Fighting Words

In 1942, the Supreme Court held in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire that the First Amendment does not protect “fighting words”—those “likely to provoke the average person to retaliation, and thereby cause a breach of the peace.”

The Court has since stated, however, that “speech cannot be restricted simply because it is upsetting or arouses contempt.” Although the Court continues to cite “fighting words” as an example of speech that the government may proscribe, it has not upheld a government action on the basis of that doctrine since Chaplinsky.

Is SCOTUS protecting Trump’s “blood will flow” speech?

Several Federal Court judges have “gagged” Trump — ordered him to not verbally attack jurors, Court personnel and others. If any of Trump’s lawyers files a lawsuit to stop “gagging” Trump and loses, will they appeal to SCOTUS?
