You can't preserve freedom of expression and freedom of association if you carve out exceptions for speech that you feel is vile or offensive. Exactly correct.

No one is carving out exceptions. This is a civil case, not criminal. IMO the First Amendment doesn't enter into it at all.

You can’t use civil statutes to restrict freedom of speech. What do you think the point of anti-SLAPP laws are?
