Say the House and Senate and the States all vote to repeal the first amendment for some reason. Do we then lose any free speech, free assembly, etc. protections? Or are laws restricting these things still "unconstitutional", as they are our "inalienable rights" and all the first amendment does is make it absolutely clear that the government cannot trample them?

I would think that the Court could very well interpret that there would no longer be a right to free speech.
