# Gut Ache-The Holmes Crew arrive to help a homeowner with a kitchen renovation — the previous renovators had specialized in finishing work ( such as cabinets ), but had not addressed any of the underlying problems at all.

Ambitious and prolific, in Ford's early work he cast himself as George Armstrong Custer, Sherlock Holmes ( with his younger brother as Dr. Watson ), and Abraham Lincoln, a role which he specialized in.

In his dissent, Holmes, the author of Schencks clear and present danger test, wrote that he believed it was still the appropriate test to employ in judging the limits of freedom of expression.

Following this ground-breaking work, he gave a speech entitled The American Scholar in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. considered to be America's " Intellectual Declaration of Independence ".

Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson explicitly relied on Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr .' s " clear and present danger " test as adapted by Learned Hand: " In each case must ask whether the gravity of the ' evil ,' discounted by its improbability, justifies such invasion of free speech as necessary to avoid the danger.

The clear and present danger test was established by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in the unanimous opinion for the case Schenck v. United States, concerning the ability of the government to regulate speech against the draft during World War I:

In Abrams, Holmes and Justice Brandeis dissented and encouraged the use of the clear and present test, which provided more protection for speech .< ref > Killian, p. 1094. Rabban, p 346 .</ br > Redish, p 102 .</ ref > In 1925's Gitlow v. New York, the Court extended the First Amendment to the states, and upheld the conviction of Gitlow for publishing the " Left Wing Manifesto ".

However, a subsequent essay by Zechariah Chafee titled “ Freedom of Speech in War Time ” argued despite context that Holmes had intended to substitute clear and present danger for the bad-tendency standard a more protective standard of free speech.

Holmes having concluded his speech, counsel for the Crown, Mr Henn, replied.

After the repression following the Red Scare, and general disillusion with the war, Holmes sought to prop up free speech with the " clear and present danger " test, a standard intended to clarify and narrow the circumstances in which speech could be restricted.

All present gave a short speech on their connection to either Holmes or the project, with a particularly erudite piece from Prof. Owen Dudley Edwards.

It resolved the debate between those who urged greater government control of speech for reasons of security and those who favored allowing as much speech as possible and relying on the marketplace of ideas to reach a favorable result, leaving the law in a state along the lines of that which Justices Louis Brandeis, and, post-Schenck, Oliver Wendell Holmes advocated in several dissents and concurrences during the late 1910s and early 1920s.

Holmes ' opinion is also the origin of the notion that speech equivalent to " Shouting fire in a crowded theater " is not protected by the First Amendment.

Justice Holmes began to doubt his decision due to criticism received from free speech advocates.

Holmes in Abrams had been willing to defend speech on abstract grounds, believing that unpopular ideas should have their opportunity to compete in the " marketplace of ideas.

He thinks that the current formulation, based on Justice Holmes ' conception of free speech as a marketplace “ disserves the aspirations of those who wrote America ’ s founding document .” The purpose of this reformulation would be to “ reinvigorate processes of democratic deliberation, by ensuring greater attention to public issues and greater diversity of views .” He is concerned by the present “ situation in which like-minded people speak or listen mostly to one another ,” and thinks that in “ light of astonishing economic and technological changes, we must doubt whether, as interpreted, the constitutional guarantee of free speech is adequately serving democratic goals .” He proposes a “ New Deal for speech would draw on Justice Brandeis ' insistence on the role of free speech in promoting political deliberation and citizenship .”

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. declared this speech to be America's " Intellectual Declaration of Independence ".

Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis dissented and said that the more speech protective standard – " clear and present danger " – ought to be applied to overturn the conviction.

Holmes had recently changed his views on the Espionage Act, especially the Sedition Act, and its relationship with free speech, based on his conversations with Zechariah Chafee and other academics.

Holmes felt that the founders ' expansion of free speech was " an experiment, as all life is an experiment " and he opined that a twenty year sentence against the defendants was an unconstitutional punishment for their beliefs.

Holmes ' eloquent speech at the end of the episode questions the very nature of humanity.

The dedication speaker was Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. whose historic speech " The Path of the Law " was delivered in 1897.
