Sen. Mike Lee suggests mask mandates violate the First Amendment because they might make it harder to speak.

@AriCohn, a First Amendment expert, tells me this is "complete nonsense" #utpol

Every single day I think they can't get stupider, and every single day I'm proven wrong.

2. My bunghole is quite expressive. Is being required to cover it a violation of the 1st Amendment?

How utterly silenced I am when I wear my surgeons mask! I demand a return of my freedom! Let me operate maskless damnit! Like the surgeons of yore! Thank you Sen Lee for giving voice to my voiceless work environment!

I think paying taxes prohibits me from communicating my expressive conduct.

there are just ass clowns spouting stupid to collect likes from zombie morons on the social media machine. These are not serious people. They don't care about you, your family or America. They sure as hell don't give a fuck about the first amendment.

Next winter I'd like to come to Utah and piss "Mike Lee sucks" into the snow cover at your kids' school playground.
Okay with you, Mikey?

After all, a judge recently ruled "F@@k Biden" on a banner is OK.

No doubt Lee or his supporters would have a cow if the shoe were on the other foot.

A violation of free speech also? It communicates the wussy message that I dont want to die in a car accident, which is fine for pansy liberals but not a tough guy like me.

Why not masks? Why not anti-vax "freedumb" to express oneself? Why not anything a person might do as a form of "self-expression"?

Why not...murder?
