Michigan AG will no longer enforce governor’s executive orders after court ruling

LANSING, MI -- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel will no longer enforce the governor’s executive orders by criminal prosecution, though she urges residents to continue following COVID-19 safety guidelines.

The announcement from Nessel’s office comes after the Michigan Supreme Court decision on Friday, Oct. 2, ruled the governor does not have authority to extend emergency orders under two emergency acts -- the Emergency Management Act from 1976 and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act from 1945.

Neither act, the court ruled, gave Gov. Gretchen Whitmer the authority to continue declaring states of emergency or issuing unilateral orders under them past April 30, when her initial declaration would have expired.

The attorney general’s statement was released Sunday, Oct. 4, by press secretary Ryan Jarvi. The decision by Nessel’s office, Jarvi wrote, “is not binding on other law enforcement agencies or state departments with independent enforcement authority.”

The statement notes it is the attorney general’s “fervent hope” that people would continue to abide by measures put in place by the governor, including the use of face masks, social distancing guidelines and staying home when sick.

“If it weren’t for the governor’s actions, countless more of our friends, family and neighbors would have been lost to COVID-19,” the statement said. “We can respect both the court’s decision and the advice of medical experts by continuing with these important measures voluntarily.”

Whitmer previously said the emergency orders would remain in place for 21 days from the court’s decision, and that many of her responsive measures would continue under alternative sources of authority.

Several Michigan law enforcement officials, including Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Borkovich, Benzie County Sheriff Ted Schendel, Manistee County Sheriff Ken Falk and Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole said months before the court’s decision that they would not strictly enforce Whitmer’s orders...

She scared a bunch of poor small business owners out of their wits with her nonsense.

May her sleep be filled with nightmares and she live them upon awakening.

Not so good. She apparently is handing the reins to county health departments:

I am certain that there are many county DA’s who will refuse to prosecute local health department violations.

Same thing has happened in Pennsylvania. The main reason the Carlisle car shows and Williams Grove Speedway operate as normal—real normal, mask only if it makes you “feel safe”—is that the Cumberland County DA has repeatedly state that he will NOT prosecute any charges brought for violating the Governor’s “orders”.

CHECK THIS OUT. Crimes Against Humanity. Nuremberg-like.

In other news, check out this video by a very well spoken German lawyer, also licensed in America discussing the Covid19 Scamdemic in Germany. Excellent analysis and background for seeing this as the Epic Crime Against Humanity by Governments around the World - all in the Name of the New World Order.

We already have those federal laws.

They are called the ‘Bill of Rights’ ;
(and they list almost zero exceptions).

I have been thinking about people who are too scared to take the mask off, even in their cars, and of course innocent children forced to wear a mask hour after hour, day after day. I worry those masks are not taken and washed often enough. Those people are wearing a Petri dish on their faces, and I suspect acne is becoming a real problem. What I really worry about though is that they could develop something really serious such as necrotizing fasciitis.

Sorry, this is NOT about health !

The planned scamdemic is about totalitarian power and control;
Most of all it is about getting rid of PDJT because he represents US !

Truth! there is no other .

Not the US, but the Communist Chinese-Xi loving megalomaniac Duterte has ordered some form of community quarantine, face mask and face shields until 2022 when he leaves office. Martial law with just another name.
