Those kinds of malicious acts are typically covered by criminal law in any case. There is nothing in the Constitutional itself that specifically addresses the "fire in a crowded theater" scenario.

If it is a matter of criminal law, then it is the duty of the legislative body that has jurisdiction to craft and pass the appropriate law. If they want to make it a federal crime, then it is up to Congress to pass the law. If it is a local matter, then local legislatures would have to address it. In any case, the courts have nothing to do with crafting and passing the laws. Now that is in the Constitution.

What?

Did I mention "acts" or "Acts"?

I suspect you were responding to a different post by somebody else.
