He just asserted that freedom of speech is the most important right in the constitution, the right which underpins more than any other, our liberty. The two rights which more than any others underpin our liberty are the right to freedom of religion and right of private property.
Liberty is the freedom to fulfill our moral obligations. The right to freedom of religion gives us the freedom to discern what our moral obligations are, and the right to private property gives us the means and resources to pursue them. Freedom of speech is critical in securing our liberty, but it is not as critical as either freedom of religion or the right to private property.
