"No, he didn't. Like most attorneys he understands that the First Amendment means what judicial interpretations say it means and this emcompasses much more than the words on the page."

I sure hope your kidding.

No.
This is the quote and your response:

"Attorney and PJI president Brad Dacus says the First Amendment prohibits employers from discriminating against a worker based on his or her personal, political, or religious viewpoints"

THe First Amendment says nada about "personal and politcal" viewpoints in the workplace. Did this guy get his law degree by mail order?

The fact that the First Amendment says "nada" about personal and political viewpoints in the workplace does not necessarily mean that those issues are not encompassed within it, and your flip comment about the attorney getting his law degree by mail order was unwarranted.

The First Amendment also says nothing about time, place and manner restrictions, nothing about incitement to imminent danger, nothing about validly enacted laws of general applicability affecting religious practices, etc. Yet all of those concepts are understood to be within the outlines of the First Amendment.

So what's your point?
