You don't get to balance rights.

No, the "fire in a theater" analogy is so poor it embarrasses me for you that you bring it up.

Rights are protected not "when nobody cares about them". Rights are not protected "only when nobody is trying to infringe on them." Rights are protected because they knew some jerk like you would come along and try to claim "but this is special." They say things like "shall not" and "no law" because they mean "shall not" and "no law", not because they meant to say "probably shouldn't very much" or "only if it isn't kinda important".

This liberty stuff, it's actually pretty easy.
