Michigan citizens may finally be able to get some relief from the cruel and arbitrary decrees of their authoritarian Democrat governer which are among the worst in the nation.
On Friday, the Wolverine State’s supreme court dealt a severe blow to power-drunk Gov. Gretchen Whitmer when it ruled that her emergency powers invoked under the pretense of the coronavirus are unconstitutional.

In a narrow 4-3 win for freedom that shows the importance of conservative judges, the state’s high court undercut Whitmer’s dictatorship by ruling that the law allowing her to declare an emergency and extend it indefinitely without legislative input violated the Michigan state constitution.
It is the first sign that the courts could be coming to the rescue of those who have been crushed under the heel of totalitarian leftists in states like New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Pennsylvania and who have been deprived of their rights without due process.
Via The Washington Examiner, “Michigan Supreme Court strikes down Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus orders”:
Michigan’s Supreme Court said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus executive restrictions violated the state’s constitution.
On Friday, the state’s high court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the Democratic governor did not have the power to continue its restrictions under two laws passed in 1976 and 1945, describing the act as an “unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution.”
“Accordingly, the executive orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic now lack any basis under Michigan law,” the ruling reads.
It notes a wide variety of businesses that had to close as a result of the orders, including “restaurants, food courts, cafes, coffeehouses, bars, taverns, brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, wineries, tasting rooms, clubs, hookah bars, cigar bars, vaping lounges, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors, schools, churches, theaters, cinemas, libraries, museums, gymnasiums, fitness centers, public swimming pools, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, spas, casinos, and racetracks.”
“These policies exhibit a sweeping scope, both with regard to the subjects covered and the power exercised over those subjects. Indeed, they rest on an assertion of power to reorder social life and to limit, if not altogether displace, the livelihoods of residents across the state and throughout wide-ranging industries,” the ruling continues.

Whitmer was furious that the court would dare to challenge her and issued a statement following the ruling vowing that she will do anything to retain her despotic powers.
According to Whitmer:
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling, handed down by a narrow majority of Republican justices, is deeply disappointing, and I vehemently disagree with the court’s interpretation of the Michigan Constitution. Right now, every state and the federal government have some form of declared emergency. With this decision, Michigan will become the sole outlier at a time when the Upper Peninsula is experiencing rates of COVID infection not seen in our state since April.
“It is important to note that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days, and until then, my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law. Furthermore, after 21 days, many of the responsive measures I have put in place to control the spread of the virus will continue under alternative sources of authority that were not at issue in today’s ruling.
Like all dictators, Whitmer is not going to go quietly nor will she easily relinquish the total control over the lives of her state regardless of what the court rules.
