this is what people keep misunderstanding. The Constitution says nothing about free speech in all circumstances. It simply forbids the government and congress from making any laws restricting free speech. It doesn't necessarily ban idiots from confirming the fact as we've seen.
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.
