The full quote is:

>> what you're saying just isn't true. There are far more constraints on your speech during a trial than in the public square.

Which, OBVIOUSLY, is responding to:

> The inside of a courtroom needs MORE protections for speech, not fewer, than the outside.

and NOT responding to:

> Laws like libel simply don't apply there

The object-level claim is that even with exceptions like that one you link to, speech is MORE LIMITED in court rooms than in the public square everywhere -- including the USA.

And yes, yelling that a judge should be murdered in open court would land a US lawyer in jail.

You're nit-picking (and what's more, nit-picking over a willful misinterpretation of the argument I'm making), not responding to the substantive object-level claim.
