| Venue: | SCOTUS |
| Facts: | Sedition act of 1919 this time: five guys toss anarcho-socialist pamphlets from windows in NY, attacking the Allied incursion into Russia. |
| Posture: | Dunno. |
| Issue: | Can the government restrict speech this way? |
| Holding: | Yes, guilty as charged. |
| Rule: | The language of the statute. |
| Reasoning: | The circulars were plainly intended to encourage resistance to the US in war, and encourage strikes in ammo factories. |
| Dicta: | Holmes, dissenting: how would a silly leaflet by an unknown man present any immediate danger? |
