Michigan Supreme Court strikes down Gov. Whitmer's virus orders: What it means
• Click On DetroitLANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down months of orders by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that were aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus, saying she drew authority from a 1945 law that is unconstitutional.
The decision is an extraordinary development in a monthslong conflict between Whitmer, a Democrat, and the Republicans who control the Legislature and have complained that they've been shut out of major orders that have restricted education, the economy and health care.
Coincidentally, the court's opinion emerged on the same day that Whitmer's critics submitted more than 539,000 signatures in a bid to repeal the 1945 law.
The governor said the 4-3 decision, with Republican-nominated justices in the majority, was "deeply disappointing." But Whitmer didn't signal that she was giving up. She said her emergency declaration and related orders still can remain in place for 21 days, and then many of them will continue "under alternative sources" of law.
Whitmer didn't elaborate, but it's likely that her administration will act under public health statutes.

By the way, watch the first 5 minutes of this video - https://www.bitchute.com/video/rlWESmrijl8Q/. Lol.
The point is, there are at least two major things that the governor should have known ahead of time. One - he should have known that the virus pandemic was over at the end of June. Two - he should have known that he was usurping his authority over people and their freedom for no real reason. The first was an act of intentional ignorance, if he was ignorant of it. The second one makes it an act of tyranny against the people, and against his oath of office. And it is doubly so if he knew that viral pandemic was over by July. --- We need to take this to all States, and use it to bring all State pandemic-promoting authorities to trial, and if they are found guilty, life in prison or execution. After all, their actions have already killed some, and will kill many more as the economic downturn free-fall speed picks up speed.
