The Anti-War Speech

During a world war, a well-known political leader gave a public speech. He said he abhorred war and would oppose it if he stood alone. He said working people had nothing to gain and everything to lose, including their lives. He praised people jailed for resisting the draft. He was charged with trying to obstruct military recruiting. He said the speech was a general political message about socialism, protected by free speech. The law asks whether his words were meant to, and likely would, obstruct recruiting.
