The court's ruling was based on the clause in Constitutional law summarized popularly with the phrase "Crying fire in a crowded theater": that when the degree to which the speech puts the safety of others at risk outweighs the degree to which it benefits others, so does their right to safety and security outweigh one's right to free expression.
この法定判決は、「混雑した劇場で火事だと叫ぶ」というフレーズで一般にまとめられる、憲法の条項に基づく：それは、他の安全をその言論が危機にさらす程度が、他の利益を上回る場合、彼らの安全と保安への権利が、表現の自由の権利を上回るとするものである。
