We've had them for a very long time. Unions workers who are striking have the right to walk a picket line, but they can't do it just anywhere. Political candidates have restrictions on how close to the ballot booths they can actively campaign. We have a right to assembly, but we can't have a meeting in the middle of a busy intersection and hold up traffic. You can't yell "fire" in a theater. There are restrictions around free speech and the right to assembly. And there should be, or we'd have anarchy.
