38. It would be struck down as unconstitutional....
There are restrictions to free speech in the United States, but they are limited to speech that is percieved as a direct threat on someone's life or speech that can cause imminent bodily harm to someone, like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Any expansion of this would be overly broad and considered a violation of the First Amendment.
