Daily Docket
№ 001 · First Amendment
A daily dose of constitutional humility

Protected?

You think you know the First Amendment. Everyone does. Five real cases. Real facts. You rule, then the Supreme Court tells you how wrong you were.

1. Read the facts. These all actually happened. 2. Rule: protected speech, or not. 3. Rule the way the Court ruled at the time. The bonus round asks twice — then and now — to see if you can spot a zombie precedent: still on the books, dead in practice. 4. No "it depends." You're the judge. Commit.
