Yes thats correct. Just because an amendment is passed does not mean its legitimate. If the second amendment was repealed that would not change the fact you have a right to own arms, or if the first was repealed it does not change the fact you have a God given right to free political speech.

It does not change whether it is a God-given right, but if the Constitution was admended to empower the government to regulate political speech, then it would be Consitutional for the government to regulate political free speech. An admendment that passes is legitimate no matter what the framers thought or said.
