She ruled for the lockdowns which is against 1st amendment; therefore, DISQUALIFIED.

No, she didn't. The argument was that political speech (Republicans gathering) carried as much weight as religious speech (much looser rules in lockdown EO). So, the court ruled it does not.

Yes, one outcome, had they won, could be that the more favorable rules would be removed.

However, the ability of the government to limit free speech and association (political, religious or otherwise) is not constitutional, itself. There is no carve out in the constitution for emergencies or pandemics.
