>if people can be punished for saying something

You are still failing to understand that nobody is prosecuted for what they say in the US. What is prosecuted is the damages incurred from what is said, such as damage to reputation in the case of defamation or physical/financial harm in the case of false marketing.

If you can't understand that, you need to go back and do your homework before you continuing discussing freedom of speech.
