Jeez. "We"* don't believe in principles based on words on old parchment and yet "we" refer to them like they were Holy Writ? If people have a "right" to speak at all it's because they're humans and I/we don't need an old parchment allow it whatever it does or doesn't say or what some fucking judges or law profs or the UN say. Can't have both ways can we?
