the Chaplinsky case is foundational to the debate on what counts as free speech and has weighed heavily on subsequent judgments

It's been nothing but a hypothetical argument from the grab-bag of people looking to silence speech they don't agree with by people who write newspaper op-eds. It's never actually been used to deny anyone freedom of speech.

If I'm wrong, then cite its use.
