I've read the constitution. In fact, I took an oath to protect it. Did you?
You have the right to peaceably assemble. However, you do not have the right to do it in my back yard or my living room. You have the right to peaceably assemble, but if you enter my back hard in the middle of the night to do so you'll be arrested. And if you break into my house to protest in my living room, well, you'll be arrested.

Really?
So I can walk into any movie theatre and yell "fire"?
Can I walk into a court of law, take the oath, and then make up lies about you?
Can I make up stories about how you like to do kinky things with small animals, or could you sue me for slander?
We have the right to freedom of speech, but there are in fact limitations. You can't fucking protest while I'm watching Men In Black at the movies. You'll be arrested.
