Michigan Is Now Unlocked’: State Supreme Court Strikes Down Emergency Powers Law
Breitbart ^ | October 02 2020 | Kyle Olson

Posted on 10/02/2020 4:59:58 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down a 1945 law that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been using to keep the state locked down since April.

Whitmer has repeatedly extended a “state of emergency” for the past several months and pointed to a World War II-era law to do so, most recently lengthening it until October 27.

But today, the basis for the ongoing lockdown was ruled unconstitutional.

WHOA.

Michigan Supreme Court rules against @GovWhitmer's use of 1945 emergency powers law in #COVID19 pandemic, says 145 law "is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government…" pic.twitter.com/sIP7Pd6X6r

The Court concluded the Emergency Powers of Governor Act:

…is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government–including its plenary police powers–and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely. As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers.

Will this affect the voting laws in MI. Those were approved because of a state of emergency that no longer exists.

The Trump campaign is suing Whitmer over the crazy new voting dktats (which allow ballots for 7 days after the day of the elections) in another court.

Apparently the emancipation won’t go into effect for 21 days. And I don’t think there’s anything in the decision that prohibits the state legislature from passing new emergency laws.

That is more conservative than SCOTUS which threw out the non-delegation doctrine (look it up) in 1928 even before the New Deal court.

Good.

Next step is to oust her and never let her or her appointees back in any level of power, ever again.

This is ridiculous! The entire tourist season destroyed because MSC didnt intervene? Should have said abortion and gay rights were being impacted. They would have looked at this in May! Courts are worthless!
