In ''Brandenburg v. Ohio'', 395 U.S. 444 (1969), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] overturned the conviction of a member of the [[Ku Klux Klan]] for espousing violence. The Court held that an Ohio statute restricting speech was unconstitutional under the [[First Amendment]] because the statute failed to recognize that "the mere abstract teaching ... of the moral propriety or even moral necessity for a resort to force and violence, is not the same as preparing a group for violent action and steeling it to such action" (quoting ''Noto v. United States'', 367 U.S. 290, 297-298 (1961)).
