I don't understand. Someone please explain to me how a judge has authority to make whatever "laws" he wants. The 1st amendment only protects us from Congress. How can the Bill of Rights protect us from a judge who wants to abridge free speech?

Although the 1st amendment only protects us from congress infringing on our religious liberty, the Supreme Court has ruled that the 14th amendment causes the 1st amendment to apply to the states also. This state ruling is unconstitutional.
