I think the court is right . . . it’s not a First Amendment free speech right. Rather, it is the right to be left the hell alone.

I agree. This wasn't a First Amendment issue. This was a bad executive order that was enabled by bad law.

you’ve got it right FRiend. it’s not a 1st Amendment right.

it’s really imho, a 4th/5th amendment protection against unwarranted gov’t invasion of your person. your ‘life, liberty, or property.’ specifically your liberty and person by forcing a medical procedure on you. they get around the property right and others by giving the mask or jab to you for free.

it’s basically an unalienable human right that you get to voluntarily consent to *any* so called medical procedure on your person whether a person or the gov’t desires it for you or not. recently we all experienced the gov’t and their private agents running amok, violating our consent right by coercing employees, businesses, military personnel and even school children into taking experimental, unproven and arbitrary health procedures. imho, there ought to be consequences, trials and compensation for all the damage they have done.

not so sure about that. Masks hide facial expressions which is part of overall communication

Sadly the Founders didn’t think they’d need to spell it out so bluntly. However, the states have always had the power to not leave people the hell alone and as far as I’m aware, there never was a Federal mask requirement.
