@SrRochardBunson @thejenniwren No one in her/his/their sane minds would ever assume, that the Founders intended the 1st Amendment to be a safe haven for enemies of the state, insurrectionists, sociopaths, terrorists & plain violent idiots believing any regulation & legislated order shouldn't exist!

If you take the time to read the writings directly from the Founders you'd see that they did indeed intend the 1st Amendment to be just such a safe haven for unpopular speech.
No assumption needed. They said so themselves.
They noticed that it would be dangerous to allow people in power to decide which speech was to be allowed and which speech was to be regulated, as that would involve a conflict of interests, giving the powerful far too much temptation into selfish corruption.
"Congress shall make no law" was put there as a blanket restriction on the powerful to police speech, including and especially such speech that would offend the powerful.
