Letterman totally missed the point, anyone's use of Free Speech against the government would be defended by almost everyone except those on the left when in power.
It's your right to speak out against the government and its agents without there being any pushback.
Anyone who speaks out about any private person, organization or subject NOT the goverment just put themselves into play.
Free Speech absolutely has consequences when used against those who are in a position to punish you for your indiscretions, and there is nothing you can do about it.
