Thousands of protesters on foot and in vehicles converged Wednesday on Michigans capital to rally against Gov. Gretchen Whitmers stay-at-home orders in the state.
Operation Gridlock, organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition, created a huge bumper-to-bumper traffic jam around the Michigan Capitol Building in Lansing, Fox 2 Detroit reported.
Meshawn Maddock, an organizer for the group, said the demonstrators include Republicans, Democrats, and independents.
It seems that Michigans authorities are not impressed with the ongoing protests as Michigan judge has issued an order authorizing a county health officer and police to arrest and jail anyone they suspect of being sick with the coronavirus.
The order has an unfilled blank for officers to write in names of those arrested said the Great Lakes Justice Center, which called the order unconstitutional.
As WND reported Judge Mark Trusock of the 17th Circuit Court issued the order in response to a request by Kent County Health Officer Adam London.
The judge ruled that any carrier and health threat presented with a copy of his order may be involuntarily detained by a peace officer, transported to and detained in an Involuntary Isolation Facility selected by the Health Officer for observation, testing, and/or treatment.
The judge further allows London to instruct the Involuntary Isolation Facility to detain an individual until the CHT has been confirmed by a physician and the health officer to be without a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 72 consecutive hours (without use of fever reducing medication) and/or is otherwise non-symptomatic and meets the CDC criteria for release from isolation.
The judge wrote that the facility where people are jailed and all peace officers can rely on a copy of his order to detain anyone at the instruction of the health officer.
This order is unconstitutional, unlawful, and unenforceable. Any police officer or health official arresting or detaining a person under this illegal order is acting outside the scope of their legal authority and may face personal liability, GLJC said.
Operation Gridlock was just one of many demonstrations planned across the country to push back on the stay-at-home orders, calling on state governments to focus on the economic toll the coronavirus pandemic has caused along with taking care of the sick.
Nearly 17 million Americans have been laid off or furloughed in the past three weeks or one out of every 10 workers.
We must continue our fight for freedom and protect our constitutional rights!
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that the mainstream media suppress.
maybe. But that cop and several others would go with me. Better send bachelors whos life insurance is paid up.
I guess some of the jackbooted tyrants are going to have to die before they get the message to back off or else. Whitmer needs to dance the jig.
One judge, one lamp post. Message sent.
But of course! You need to let out the dangerous criminals before you have space to put in non-dangerous non-criminals.
Seriously though...how on earth is being sick “criminal”? This is a HUGE step toward tyranny. Unbelievable. It’s one step away from targeting political views.
Post of the day!!
What would you draw on them?
How quickly our country is becoming a police state and the Bill of Rights is being trampled upon. Like sheep many Americans are subserviently following the dictates of authoritarian governors for the public good despite nothing but failed computer models and hysterical media reports backing these edicts. I fear it will take another revolution to rid us of this tyranny.
Something a little more .....permanent.
Not bashing LEO's- most are fine people doing a tremendously difficult job, but this is absolutely true.
Look at the history of any dictatoship and you will find that police cracking down on people, is how the dictator maintains power.
IMO this should be covered as part of officer's training. Also, they should have to pass a course covering the principals of the Constitution every 2 years.
But, the biggest issue we have as a nation, IMO, is, CORRUPT POLITICIANS, (predominantly associated with one of our two major political parties), and their ability to get people in authority - judges, LEO's exc.. to go along with/cover up for, their wrongdoing in the first place.
How can this be addressed? It has to be solved if we are to continue.
Then again, if we had a functioning mainstream press in this country, composed of actual Journalists, fearlessly searching for truth, no matter where it leads, and keeping the public FULLY informed, we would not be at the point we are today (on the edge of CWII).
For reference- See the recent (released a few days ago) 2020 documentary on Youtube "Out Of The Shadows". It shows how corrupt and one sided the MSM has become.
Just my .02 cents.
“...But, the biggest issue we have as a nation, IMO, is, CORRUPT POLITICIANS,...”
Absolutely correct. And they in turn have no problem hiring people to guard the camps, man the gas chambers and crematoria by offering good starting salaries, opportunities for advancement, job security, health insurance, paid leave, 20 year retirement etc.
Where do these politicians come from, and who votes for them?
In light of all the cheating, and ballot harvesting recently discovered, not sure if they were legitimately elected.
And this is another problem to add to the list.
