          Pretty sure "First Amendment" is too simplistic of an answer. That said, I still think fining people for protesting social distancing mandates is probably unconstitutional.

          Depends how they protest it. If they protest by ignoring social distancing mandates, public health concerns would trump (lower case "t") the First Amendment.

          Google "time, place, and manner restriction". Google "strict scrutiny" followed by "compelling governmental interest". Or, and I say this sincerely, go back to your true talent at writing bullshit articles about how the GOP is "outflanking the Democrats".
