Note to the cowards in the legislature: Pull up your big boy and girl undies, rewrite the law, then override her veto.

That may not be possible if they command a majority but not a veto proof majority.

At the same time 2-1 is not complete and overwhelming. Does anyone have any idea what the Michigan Supreme Court is likely to do?

must watch video. understand it was on Spanish TV about a week ago:

Youtube: 7m20s: 19 Aug: OMG I’m Speechless! Unbelievable Mainstream News from Spain - UNREAL!
posted by Ivor Cummins
I don’t know what to say about this mainstream Spanish news item, I’m kinda speechless. This front-line, clearly expert Spanish doctor reveals the reality around the truly massive media madness going on at the moment. He explains the actual reality, and the interviewer is thrown into confusion...!
Then a studio journalist is brought in to sort him out - but our doc is solid as a rock - and leaves the henchman for dead! UNREAL. (subtitled).

To get rid of these tyrants, we are going to have to stop fighting on their corrupt existing governmental and legal system.

I have heard more than once, “It doesn’t matter who you vote for.”

Never were more ignorant words spoken.

The people of Michigan elected their dictator. They now live under the jackboot of their stupidity to their shame and misery.

This tyrant governor will never give up her dictatorial power. She will have to be thrown out of office.

This also demonstrates that the definition of “emergency” is up to the governor herself. Everything can be an emergency.

I now question whether democracy can be trusted at all.

How quickly people put chains upon themselves !

“...the Court of Appeals handed the governor “a complete and decisive win.”

Something radically wrong with a system where two stupid judges can shaft an entire state. Hope Detroit suffers most.

As long as she is one of the 4 coordinating Democrat Governors that moved virus patients into nursing homes, after knowing what happened in the state of Washington with the early cases, some type of conspiring manslaughter charges should be on the horizon...someday...maybe.

What do you suggest we do about it? There's already a recall petition circulating but it's unlikely they will be able to collect and verify the 1,062,647 valid signatures in the required 60 days.

Until then, she's not up for reelection until 2022..........

Probably re-elect her.....

I never voted for her.......

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Unfortunately, the law is much too vague. Don’t blame the judge on this one.

Well, if there is not enough signatures it tells you not enough people are outraged and will comply with what ever she dictates.

And I really don't have an idea what a state should "do about it" when tyranny takes holt. If only there were some examples through our history to look to....

This court is a rat court. The Mi SC is not. They need to get this to them. It should been done months ago. Half Whit is using a WW II law that was superseded thirty years ago.

MISC has more of a conservative bend. This decision was not a surprise and whoever lost was going to appeal regardless.

The vote to decline thenfast-track is instructive.
