A top Ohio Republican lawmaker said Wednesday he expects a court challenge to a new law curbing Gov. Mike DeWine’s coronavirus powers.
However, it’s still unclear exactly where such a lawsuit against Senate Bill 22 will come from.
The law, passed over DeWine’s veto, gives lawmakers the authority to cancel any gubernatorial health orders lasting longer than 30 days, requires the governor’s office to renew such orders every 60 days, limits local health officials’ power to quarantine or self-isolate people, and allows Ohioans to sue over the constitutionality of any state emergency order in their home county. The new law takes effect in 90 days.
DeWine, in his veto message, asserted that “significant portions of SB 22” violate the Ohio Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine, lawmaking procedures, and powers given to the judiciary....
However, it also remains to be seen whether DeWine’s “legal counsel” will be Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Yost, a Columbus Republican, might instead defend the law on behalf of the legislature and hire a special counsel to represent the governor.
Yost spokesman Steve Irwin said Wednesday that he’s not sure what Yost would decide to do in such a situation, as it’s “a hypothetical, at this point.”....

For your considering: ping-a-ling.
DeWine is a one term governor if my vote matters.
Corrupt, inept, DeWiner will not stop until he destroys the Ohio GOP.
Ditto. I’d even vote to recall the s.o.b.
The way things are going, I think the party will destroy him.
I’m right there with you. Recall the sob and retire Mike and Fran the pie maker.
I don’t know much about Dave Yost, but if he’s out burning his mask, I like him.
I have friends who work for the AG. They said he sent around a five minute video commemorating the one-year anniversary of when they were sent home to work from there and in this video, which was filmed with him talking from his backyard, he burned a mask.
Here is a primer on the bill

DeWiner deserves it. I ashamed to say that I voted for him twice. He has screwed everyone around him including Lt. Governor Jon Husted.
Husted was completely blindsided by DeWiner’s announcement that he was running for re-election after Portman declined to run in 2022.
gives lawmakers the authority to cancel any gubernatorial health orders lasting longer than 30 days.
that was already the law, but dewine used amy acton to get around it.
amen.
So did I, but I cannot forget that he promised to sign a Constitutional Carry bill if one was presented top him, and then turned around 180 and lobbied hard against it. So here we are yet again with no Constitutional Carry. Gun owners have only made token progress here in Ohio.
Looks like Ohio is beginning to get the political emetic needed to purge the disgusting RINO parasites like DeWine and Kasich.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
