I mean that a freedom isn't a freedom if it's constrained, so that if constitutional scholars consider such a constrained freedom "freedom of speech" then they are using that phrase in a technical sense and not the "everyday" sense of the words (leaving aside the difficulty that perhaps people use the phrase in the legal-scholarese way in everyday life!).

So "...shall not be infringed." means as much as "Congress shall make no law..."?
What about gag orders in court cases?
