WOODTV8: LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A 1945 law repeatedly used by Gov. Gretcher Whitmer to respond to the coronavirus pandemic was declared unconstitutional Friday by the Michigan Supreme Court, a striking decision that puts months of restrictions in jeopardy while COVID-19 continues to flare up around the state.
The opinion is an extraordinary development in a monthslong conflict between Whitmer, a Democrat, and Republicans who control the Legislature and have complained that they have been shut out of sweeping orders that have impacted education, the economy and health care.
Coincidentally, the court’s action emerged on the same day that Whitmer’s foes submitted more than 539,000 signatures in a bid to repeal the ’45 law.
The governor said the 4-3 decision, with Republican-nominated justices in the majority, was “deeply disappointing.” But Whitmer did not 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. more here

SNIP: Whitmer is evil and desperate.
poor mfkng dindu-t**t guv, so sorry
So, she’s now going to defy the MI Supreme Court.
And the Supreme Court even admitted that her orders were invalid after April, with or without the 1945 or 1976 laws
This is gonna get ugly……
She knows she’s one term no matter what she pulls out of her hat now. Doesn’t give a damn.
Free at last. About f-ing time.
I pray Michigan voters are a little more responsible next time they elect a governor.
Finally, Knocked her off her throne and took her crown. Now off with her head.
She won’t let go of the power. She will have to be forced out. I wonder if the State Congress has what it takes.
She is another prime reason to repeal the 19th Amendment!
They’ll just find some dipshit judge from HI to overturn it – like they did in PA. 🙄
As I sit here in Michigan a favorite restaurant of mine has gone out of business. Being unable to open up for seating indoors the rainy days ended the business and a family’s dream and income. With winter and the colder setting upon us many other business will soon flounder.
Next up, where I go to yoga. With limited class size they could not meet the rent payments, they will be done on Sunday Nov 22nd. We are all hoping they will get a chance to try again when this Covid charade is over.
Whitmer is loving this destruction of the state. She is a socialist and was in the running for V.P. but I guess the Soro’s family got better head from Kamala.
I said “better, but not bigger”.
