From MS Encarta:
Comment: The first ten Amendments were ratified December 15, 1791, and form what is known as the Bill of Rights.

A. Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

From your post:
'"Freedom of expression" is not unlimited.'

Which one of us misread this?

The USSC has ruled that the Freedom of Speech does not extend to yelling "MOVIE!" in a crowded firehouse.

(Actually, it does, but there are consequences. Even "words like conviction can turn in to a sentence")
