Justice Hugo L. Black, (1886-1971) US Supreme Court Justice
Justice Hugo L. Black Quote
“What finally emerges from the ‘clear and present danger’ cases is a working principle that the substantive evil must be extremely serious and the degree of imminence extremely high before utterances can be punished…It must be taken as a command of the broadest scope that explicit language, read in the context of a liberty-loving society, will allow.”
