Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said her state won’t carry out another COVID-19-related lockdown following GOP-led lawsuits in 2020 that argued she overstepped her constitutional authority.
“I have been sued by my legislature. I have lost in a Republican-controlled Supreme Court, and I don’t have all of the exact same tools [that I had 15 months ago],” Whitmer, a Democrat, told “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
She elaborated in saying that the lawsuits left her without the authority to unilaterally implement a lockdown due to surging cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease.
Republicans have said that lockdowns are damaging to the economy and livelihood of residents, while pointing to states like Florida and Texas, which have eschewed lockdowns in recent days, as models to follow. COVID-19 cases in both states have appeared to level off in recent days, although officials have said that Florida’s spring break has led to an increase.
“Well, at the end of the day this is going to come down to whether or not everyone does their part. That’s the most important thing,” Whitmer also said. “We’re imploring people to take this seriously, mask up, get tested,” she continued. “If you’ve been around someone who’s positive, stay home. And if you do get COVID, use one of these monoclonal antibodies so that we can keep you out of the hospital and help you retain your health.”
Last year, Michigan’s Supreme Court ruled that Whitmer didn’t have the constitutional authority to continue extending a state of emergency that was declared due to the pandemic. Around the same time, Whitmer was sharply criticized by Republicans who said the lockdown orders were too harsh and would harm businesses.
“We conclude that the Governor lacked the authority to declare a ‘state of emergency’ or a ‘state of disaster’ under the EMA after April 30, 2020, on the basis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we conclude that the EPGA 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,” wrote Justice Stephen J. Markman for the Supreme Court’s majority.
Whitmer’s office has faced controversy in recent days after Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Director Elizabeth Hertel traveled to an Alabama Gulf Coast resort area earlier this month.
“The sheer brazenness of Gov. Whitmer and her staff is truly something else,” Michigan GOP spokesman Ted Goodman said to Fox News on Wednesday, adding that “Whitmer’s position on the draconian lockdown orders is simple—rules for thee, but not for me.”
Oohhhhhh Gov. SHINY SHOEBOX FACE is upset...oohhh.
Masks DO NOT WORK. They are harmful . They are a matter only of social control.
Whats more , the science SAYS SO
With respect to cloth facemask, a RCT using four weeks follow up compared the effect of cloth facemask to medical masks and to no masks on the incidence of clinical respiratory illness, influenza-like illness and laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infections among 1607 participants from 14 hospitals [19].
The results showed that there were no difference between wearing cloth masks, medical masks and no masks for incidence of clinical respiratory illness and laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infections.
However, a large harmful effect with more than 13 times higher risk [Relative Risk = 13.25 95% CI (1.74 to 100.97) was observed for influenza-like illness among those who were wearing cloth masks [19]. The study concluded that cloth masks have significant health and safety issues including moisture retention, reuse, poor filtration and increased risk for infection, providing recommendation against the use of cloth masks [19].”

Dr. Fauci is exercising social control over America.So is so called President Joe Biden. So is Whitmer. These Alinskyite fascists are not following science, they are extending the pandemic, which is why the use of J&J vaccine , the most effective against Covid -19 variants, has been stopped.
Bring on the prophylaxis drugs so we can free up our nation and get back to a free life:
Buy Ivermectin for prophylaxis ( Ziverdo is a therapy for infection not prophylaxis)
Prophylaxis Dosage used by millions of health care workers but denied to the public:

This is a good example why Pence should have kicked the electoral certification back to the State Legislatures. There was already plenty of proof of fraud. More is coming out.
1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!
Fantaztik!
Actually, she’s breathing a sigh of relief. Her insanity was killing the state and she knew it, but she couldn’t back out. So now she has the “Republicans made me do it” excuse to cover her posterior with the lockdown crazed Democratic Party.
Pence is not known for courage. He is basically a part of the swamp.
Commrade Whitmer is heartbroken.
I despise that witch.
Sure you spelled that correctly?
My upbringing dpes not allow me to use the other word. Also, I think she is demon driven so witch fits.
“Bring on the prophylaxis drugs so we can free up our nation and get back to a free life”
Maybe prophylaxis drugs do as much good as placebo “drugs”. Maybe it’s all a crap shoot.
No, they provide very real prophylaxis.
