The freedoms of speech and expression have morphed into a freedom of stupidity, and it really, really sucks that this isn't something we as a culture have proven able to repudiate.
Using your freedom of speech to tell someone they're a moron that should shut the fuck up doesn't count as free speech, apparently.
Also, 1a specifically refers to the government silencing you.
