    Yep. No freedom is absolute.
    Yelling fire in crowded movie theatre when there is no fire.
    Defamation.
    Human sacrifice as religious rite (or right).

    Yeah, except in this case quite a few of the things the government was trying to suppress have been proven true, or at least to have some merit.

    The government wasn't trying to stop people from yelling fire in a crowded theater. They were trying to stop them from talking about fires in theaters and what might happen if a fire broke out in the theater, while there was a smoldering garbage can belching smoke in the corner.

    Don't we assume all the opinions are written by now?

    How was social media "coerced"?

    Not the "if you squint your eyes and leap to conclusions" version of coercion. How were they actually coerced?

    FWIW, you CAN yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. There is no law against it. The canard only exists because it was part of an analogy used in an argument in a 1919 case (which was essentially overturned in 1969's Brandenburg v. Ohio anyway).

    Most certainly, yes. The six or seven remaining (depends on whether they issue one or two opinions for the social media cases):

    Relentless and Loper-Bright, the Chevron cases
    Corner Post v. Federal Reserve, on the statute of limitations for challenging a federal agency action
    The social media cases
    Grants Pass v. Johnson, the homelessness case
    Fischer v. United States, the Jan. 6 case
    Trump v. US, the presidential immunity case

    First opinion of the day, the homelessness case out of Oregon. 6-3 along ideological lines.

    The court holds that the enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" barred by the Eighth Amendment.

    Chevron cases are overruled.

    This is great news for those of us who live in pleasant climates. Let’s take back our streets.

    Know what’s weird about the Eighth Amendment? It bars cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail but not excessive punishment.

    Hate to put a dent into my "lib cred" but I've seen the conditions people camping on public property live in, crap everywhere- to me THAT is cruel and unusual. .
