The first amendment can go fly a kite: it is completely irrelevant to this situation.
SouthWest is not violating any anti-discrimination laws by refusing service to obscene T-shirt wearers. Even if the policy is selectively enforced, the airline remains in the right.
Furthermore, what would be wrong with an airline refusing service to people who disrespected our President?

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
