Should we allow the first amendment to inform our judgment or our prejudice?

There seems to be many issues of late where people are confusing the U.S.A. for a direct democracy, where popular opinion is the highest authority, mob rule. In fact the U.S.A. is a republic where is highest authority is the rule of law.

Should we change the law because we want to suppress the rights of people who are superficially similar to other people who are ****ing us off?

What is America about freedom or oppression?
