> No it doesn’t

It does because I learned this in the law class I took in undergrad. A quick google search would’ve told you that there are limitations to first amendment.

He's talking about the Constitution. You're talking about the Supreme Court's interpretation of it, which is different (and could change.)

No, the claim was:

> The constitution of United States, in the first Amendment prohibits certain speech

It does no such thing. It prohibits Congress from making laws that abridge the freedom of speech. Congress is not required to make any laws constraining speech, even if it is allowed to, and the First Amendment itself does not prohibit any speech.
