In the United States, the Courts have consistently ruled that First Amendment Rights are not absolute. Even the last half century, this has been reaffirmed by Court decisions. For example, you cannot go to an airport or onto a plane and yell "BOMB!!!". There are laws against both slander and libel. You cannot tell a lie to the authorities or in court.
