Wouldn’t Congress have to make a law for judges to step in here, though? I’m not sure what you are suggesting, exactly.

No. Congress makes a law that declares the right to free speech to be a civil right. Judges would naturally step in when there is a contested violation of that right, as they currently do in all civil rights disputes .
