Michigan will now be more free than TEXAS
“... keep the ‘petty’ tyrants in their place.”
Correct, except that this is not petty tyranny, it is full blown totalitarianism.
Witness CA Gov Newsome illegal decree by his personal fiat that there shall be NO gasoline powered vehicles in CA as of 2035.
I am thrilled with the Michigan Supreme Court ruling as I live here. Bizarrely, there are two laws that gave the Governor the ability to declare a State of Emergency. The 1945 law had no legislative oversight requirement. Then another law (Emergency Management Act) was passed in 1976 that did provide for legislative oversight every 28 days for renewal of the SOE. The 1976 law did not replace the 1945 law. It specifically acknowledged the 1945 law and said nothing in the 1976 act was intended to negate the powers of the Governor specified in the 1945 law. Dumb, but don’t tell anybody as we don’t need two stinking laws to abuse us any worse than has already happened.
Michigan My Michigan! Will you stop wearing the Mask of Submission now???
That wouldn’t have been enough time to do the massive Medical Culling in the Greater Detroit ARea.
Good news and fully correct.
Commie Dictator Whitmer gets put in her place. Hopefully she will relocate to a communist country forthwith.
Did her wax face fall off?
California’s Gavin Newsom too. He’s an arrogant, wannabe tyrant.
She needs to be sued by the entire state. I do not have the authority to rob banks, do I really need the Supreme Court to rule on that,
About effin time...
This; aka a big middle finger to the people, the State congress, and the MI Supreme Court.
Can’t wait for the lawsuits for damages caused by her unconstitutional actions compounded by the ones for families bereaved of their senior loved ones by her purposeful actions to infect them with WuFlu. Her, her AG, MiDHHS — have at it.
“Since the beginning of this crisis, I have done everything in my power to protect our seniors, small businesses, and first responders from the worst public health emergency in over a century. Thanks to the hard work of millions of Michiganders who sacrificed and did the right thing, we have saved thousands of lives and laid the foundation for a strong economic recovery. But COVID-19 still poses a clear and present danger to the people of Michigan, our economy, and our way of life.
“This virus has now killed more Michiganders than World War I. It is a novel virus for which there is no cure, and which has infected the President of the United States, members of the United States Congress, and Legislators across our state. This virus continues to take the lives of Americans every single day, and without a cure or approved vaccine, that will continue for the foreseeable future.
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling, handed down by a narrow majority of Republican justices, is deeply disappointing, and I vehemently disagree with the court’s interpretation of the Michigan Constitution. Right now, every state and the federal government have some form of declared emergency. With this decision, Michigan will become the sole outlier at a time when the Upper Peninsula is experiencing rates of COVID infection not seen in our state since April.
“It is important to note that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days, and until then, my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law. Furthermore, after 21 days, many of the responsive measures I have put in place to control the spread of the virus will continue under alternative sources of authority that were not at issue in today’s ruling.
“I know this is hard. We all want this crisis to be over, and we all want life to return to normal as soon as possible. But the only way we will get through this is by pulling together as Americans and working as one nation to defeat this virus. That means wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, and maintaining six feet of physical distancing. Michiganders have grit, and there is no challenge we can’t meet.
“I want the people of Michigan to know that no matter what happens, I will never stop fighting to keep you and your families safe from this deadly virus.”
Solitary confinement - no one allowed within 6 feet of her.
Can everybody in Michigan go to Church now?
