The US Supreme Court has traditionally interpreted freedom of speech and of the press very broadly, and has usually overturned laws or lower court decisions which might have a "chilling effect" on free speech. The traditional examples of where laws curbing freedom of speech might be allowed are that it is reasonable to prohibit someone from shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre, and that speech that is likely to incite violence is not necessarily protected. (Speech that is likely to incite protest, on the other hand, is protected.)
