>I started with deliberately stupid examples to make my point: Free Speech was always clearly limited, by necessity.
Which is neither here, nor there. Conspiracy to commit murder, as per the "mob boss gives an order example" would always be illegal regarless of our "free speech" stance, and the First Amendment didn't come into play determining whether that "[could] be law at all".
It was rather the other way around: the First Amendment was drafted with the certainty that such a thing isn't about free speech and will always be illegal.
