That is completely false. There are many exceptions to the first amendment which the court has decided don't abridge the freedom of speech.
A classic example of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_president_of_t...
The courts can say anything they want, and they did... but then, so could the authors of the First Amendment, and they didn't.
I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make, but the law is whatever congress has passed, whatever the courts have interpreted, and whatever the executive executes. People who read the Constitution and make up their own interpretation clearly missed the part about the separation of powers and the role of the judiciary.

My point is, the First Amendment tells Congress not to do that.
What exactly does "shall make no law" mean to you? Be specific.
