According to the Supreme Court, the First Amendment's protections for freedom of the press and speech can only be curtailed when the circumstances warrant it. This was the principle in case of schenck v. United states.
The Supreme Court validated Charles Schenck & Elizabeth Baer's convictions for violation of the Espionage Act of 1917 by blocking the "recruiting or enlistment service" during WW I in the famous Schenck v. United States case, 249 U.S. 47 (1919).
