She was wrong to overide a mandate as a Lt. Governor while an acting Governor was out of town. Regardless of the issue her authprity only goes so far and she did abuse that.

If that's the case, someone should have run off to court, or the legislature should impeach (if possible).

If it is not the case, then Idahoans will have to amend the state constitution.

“She was wrong to overide a mandate as a Lt. Governor while an acting Governor was out of town.”

Mike Curb used to do it to Jerry Brown all the time back in the seventies. It wasn’t wrong. It was hilarious. Brown couldn’t fly around the country because his GOP lieutenant governor would stick it to the Dems when he was gone. Play by the rules types like you are the reason we always lose. By the way, I like your new word, “authprity.” Has an AOC ring to it.

According to what has been written, in Idaho the Lt Gov is the ‘acting’ gov when the gov is out/absent. She seized the opportunity and it has exposed the gov for what he is: another nanny state bureaucrat.

No she didn’t. She was using the powers given to her to issue orders in the absence of the Governor from the State. She used the authority that she has according to the law of governance in her State. I love what she did, and may she win her race against this lily liver’ed RINO Governor for his office.

Pubs so very often play the role of nice guy and then get squashed every time when their opponents don’t play by the same rules, and they never do. Pubs MUST develop a spine and a willingness to fight fire with equal fire. If the enemy gets down and dirty, double down and get even more down and dirty.

Examples: Biden stole the election, Pubs swallowed it with little fanfare. Biden is about to grab our guns; Pubs will swallow it as will the Sheeple among the populace. Biden is spending us into disaster, Pubs are swallowing it (except for the few Pubs that DO have a spine and are willing to fight). Most won’t, they will pull their verbal punches, and get walked over.

Biden will get us into a war, Pubs won’t do anything about it. Biden is setting it up for us never having an honest election again if these socialists can help it. He will get his bill passed (HR 1) and Pubs will do nothing to stop it (like walk out en masse depriving them of a quorum, and not returning until the bill is tabled.

Biden will pack the Supreme Court, and the cowards now sitting on the Supreme Court will allow it to happen to them just like they wouldn’t hear any case about corruption in the 2016 election and thus allowed the disastrous regime we now live under to exist.

So, your sensibilities would not allow for a bold countermove by this Lt. Gov, just like Pub “sensibilities” do not allow for any protesting of the 2016 election theft, because the Dems say it didn’t happen. We must fight to the end now, or live under tyranny by power hungry “leaders” like this Governor. Choose your poison.

No she did not. Not any more than he did making the mandates to begin with.

She ran for office separate of him.

He refused the legislature when they wanted to reconvene and actually pass laws, which, at the time, she publicly said is the way a republic is supposed to work.

I live in Idaho and Little is a RINO, almost as bad as Romney.
