Great news!
Thanks for posting this when you did. It's a great way to end the week.

Do you know anything about this court? Are they ever this conservative, or are they typically leftists?

I ask because I'm wondering if this decision may be a reaction to the movement in the House of Reps to pass some legislation to curb the powers of the judiciary. If they are typically lefties, it may be a sign that the legislature has struck a nerve and they are trying to quell that legislative movement.

Michigan's Supreme Court is arguably the most conservative in the state.

There are 4 top level judges(Markman, Taylor, Young, Corrigan), two bigtime leftists(Kelly and Cavanaugh), and 1 "O'Connor" type(Weaver).

Markman is up for election this year and we need him back. Kelly is up and needs to be ousted.
