Of course it does, but if you're prepared to redefine words then having a discussion is quite difficult. It's perfectly possible, of course, that the US Constitution protects something which isn't strictly speaking freedom of speech but which is as valuable (or more so). It might be that we (or some subset of us) agree that curtailing freedoms for various reasons is worthwhile. But "freedom of speech" has to mean something independent of any particular constitution that enshrines it (or doesn't), or else I can just write the "Constitution of Richville" to say "Everybody is free to do whatever they want" and then redefine "free" to mean "free as long as I approve".
