Agree with your reasoning/conclusion that coercive compliace with mandates is unlawful on multiple fronts. No question. Sadly, our challenge is upholding the rule of law amidst rampant lawlessness and state corruption. It's much like speeding on the highway. It's against the law yet there are places where people speed with impunity because everyone in that neighborhood knows the police don't enforce the speed limit on that stretch of road.
