"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech"

Can you tell me where that protects an employee from being fired for something he says? All it does is prevent government restriction of speech. It would take a very activist court to find the former protection in the First Amendment.

Government employment.

Can you please tell me why a government employee can be fired for expressing a personal belief in his off duty hours?

Law, chapter and verse please.
