I do not think that means what you think it it means.

My point was that citizens draw the line as to which "free" speech is acceptable and which is not. We can not yell "fire" in a crowded theater because we deemed it illegal and wrote laws to prevent it. We can not threaten the president's life because we supported laws to prevent it. There never has been an absolute free-ness of speech in this country. Historically we have placed limits on free speech for good reasons. Whether you agree with it or not in this instance, there is no principle-of-the-thing to prevent We the People from doing so again.
