That's all true but history tells us that certain discussion topics

That's disingenuous, and indirectly you can be. Surely you have
heard of Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919)?

The law is on your side here but the effect is the same.

Schenck was largely vacated by the decisions of the Burger court in
the late 60s and early 70s, principally by the decision that affirmed
the right to say "FU@K the draft", which gutted Schenck.
Maybe you can shout "fire" in a crowded theater now.

Perhaps you're thinking of Brandenburg v. Ohio?
