BREAKING STORY!!! MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT DECLARES MICHIGAN GOVERNOR WHITMER'S LOCKDOWN TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Lansing — In a landmark ruling with far-reaching implications, the Michigan Supreme Court decided Friday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer violated her constitutional authority by continuing to issue orders to combat COVID-19 without the approval of state lawmakers.

The state's high court ruled 4-3 that a state law allowing the governor to declare emergencies and keep them in place without legislative input — the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act — is unconstitutional.

The court was unanimous in ruling that a separate law — the 1976 Emergency Management Act — did not give Whitmer the power, after April 30, to issue or renew any executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic after 28 days without Legislative approval.

The ruling, which was requested by a federal judge earlier this year, serves as advice to the federal court and indicates how the court would rule on a suit challenging Whitmer’s emergency powers.

I am a 70 year old widow..I am a follower of Jesus. As a lifelong Michigan resident, I am witnessing a governor who is above the law. She mocks and sneers at the judicial system. I believe that she would not blink an eye at sending me and others to a camp for execution. As an aside, she has no intention of honoring the election results. Perhaps she is so confident because Newsom has promised her fire power via the CHICOMS. An easy invasion point would be via Windsor-Detroit and other waterways. Plus, we have an enormous population of a certain group of immigrants who hold parades that include marching by many strong young men with swords at their sides. Pray for the people of Michigan. We tried to recall her. We went to court.
