This is a guess: The first choice would occur, and as a result the States would attempt to create there own rules, but would be prevented as it is a constitutional right. /Thus depending on how much hate and discontent was present within the society would determine if a attempt to introduce an additional "constitutional amendment" adding exceptions.

The existing exceptions currently prevent slander, libel, and outright dangerous speech such as "shouting FIRE in a crowded theater."
