We don't have any "first amendment rights." We have Natural Rights endowed to us by our Creator, which is then enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights; a Right the government cannot take away when they feel like it.
::eyeroll:: Nitpick.
Everybody knows where the rights come from. The label "First Amendment rights" doesn't mean or even imply that the rights somehow originated inside the Amendment and didn't exist until it was written. The label applies 100%, since that's where the Rights are enumerated and spelled out.
We use shorthand like "First Amendment Rights" instead of typing out "Natural Rights endowed to us by our Creator, which are then enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights; Rights the government cannot take away when they feel like it".
Not because the second option isn't accurate; just because three words are easier to work with than thirty. ;)
