Judge Thomas is brilliant and so is his opinion on this. I sure hope someone files a petition that fits the roadmap he provided, because it sounds like he definitely wants to travel that road!
For example, although a “private entity is not ordinarily constrained by the First Amendment,” Halleck, 587 U.S., at ___, ___ (slip op., at 6, 9), it is if the government coerces or induces it to take action the government itself would not be permitted to do, such as censor expression of a lawful viewpoint.
This opinion has implications for vaxports as well, undercutting the "it's the free market and private businesses can do whatever they want" claims.
The government cannot accomplish through threats of adverse government action what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly.
So, if the government can't force you to wear a mask, they cant use the health department to shut down businesses who refuse to make their customers wear masks.
What we need are brave patriots who have the courage (and legal support) to fight for their rights instead of rolling over and accepting every restriction that despotic politicians decide to impose on us.
