Again, "speech" is not vocal dictation.

It is a mode of expression of opinion or political standpoint. The MEANING of the phrase is different than the sterile grammatical interpretation.

That is a restrictive interpretation

Read the words of the Amendment. There is no such actual limitation in the text that ties speech either to "opinion" or "political standpoint."

Either the SCOTUS gang are constructivists and go purely by the rule of the words in the 1st Am., or -- by the decree of the SCOTUS -- governmental types are allowed to limit speech in certain cases.
