  Free speech is more than just some amendment to the constitution or some right Americans are guaranteed. It's a much larger concept about allowing people to communicate their opinions and ideas without fear of any punishment, not just legal punishment. The reason for Freedom of Speech is to prevent people from basing their publicly held opinions on getting a job, being prosecuted, or anything else.
