“On Thursday, May 14 we will be gathering again at The Capitol!
The legislators continue to play scheduling games with us, so we will be there whether they are or not, in large numbers. We will gather to raise awareness of the many hypocrisies of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and to give a voice to the voiceless.
We The People are done with the unfair coverage by the media, claiming we are racist right-wing extremists. We The People come from diverse backgrounds and political affiliations. We know our rights, and we stand for liberty.
Stay tuned for more details and the official speakers list!”
*** Quick side note, since nothing else is working, the other side is now trying to spin this thing into a racial issue.
Another day, another “objective” reporter carrying the water for Gov. Witless and her unconstitutional actions.
I cannot speak for other parts of Michigan (yet), but with the notable exception of Charlie Langton, what passes for news reporting in Southeastern Michigan has long since morphed into a non-comical farce of itself.
Yesterday saw yet another protest against Michigan Government attempting to lockup everyone in order to “keep us safe”. To their credit, Channel 7 sent a crew out to cover it.
Did they start the report on why people were there? The effect that the governess’ illegal actions were having on their physical well-being or financial status? How a governor can claim authority that expired at the beginning of this month?
Nope, within the first few seconds we got this instead:
“Many without masks, not social distancing, holding Trump posters and homemade signs say its personal freedoms they’re fighting for.”
No word yet on when she’ll investigate the assault against three individuals with media credentials who were doing nothing more than sitting in the House Gallery. I’m absolutely certain that is high on her “To-do” list, and she just forgotten to alert the press.
Adding fuel to the dumpster fire that is Gov. Witless’ “leadership” during the Wuhan situation, we have businesses who have taken it upon themselves to not ask for permission from her to re-open…they are simply doing it themselves.
Oh no, we cannot have that!
Not to fear, LEO’s will step in and set those ne’er-do-wells straight.
Wait, what?
“Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy isn’t convinced Whitmer’s order is legal and said he won’t enforce the order. It doesn’t matter to Gray because he said he’d stay open even if he gets fined.”
No, no,no,no,no,no!
This won’t do!
And what does “republican” Brian Calley (now Michigan Small Business Administration President), have to say about all of this?
A news release from Whitmer’s office noted that the order would expire on May 28. Previously, Whitmer’s order was set to expire May 15.
State county prosecutors recognize the illegality and, many “elected” Sheriffs (very important difference) are not willing to walk the Road to Hell Democrat Whitmer is leading this state down.
Even soon to be recalled sweaty forehead Whitmer’s Attorney General Nessel flinched at these unlawful actions, which ended up with a father of 8 being shot dead by governor GRETCHEN ESTHER WHITMER illegal agenda. Those that see the name in all capitals understand what that means.
Walk away, LEO.
Simple as that.
Avoid what every freedom loving citizen in America dreads but, are losing everything they ever worked for, that will answer the call, God forbid- if stupid enough to “follow orders” after 8 weeks out from house arrest.
But just because you have a right, doesn’t mean you should exercise it in irresponsible ways.
Showing up at a mass protest with a pistol on your hip or a rifle slung across your shoulder is irresponsible.
It could easily be read as an attempt to intimidate. That’s particularly true when the guns are brought into the Capitol building where lawmakers are doing the state’s business.
Police monitoring the gatherings are put in the extremely difficulty position of trying to discern whether those carrying weapons are a threat to commit violence. Officers have to guess which guns are present as a symbol of protest, and which are there for ill intent.
Things can go bad in a hurry if they guess wrong.
Sorry, dummy Nolan, that’s just not how “…shall not be infringed.” works. Furthermore, if/when police are complicit in any politicians’ disregard for Rule of Law, and tyranny reigns, then Rebellion becomes Duty.
https://t.co/vMYg7yDCFJ “it’s truly bizarre what this man has accomplished in just four years in Lansing. A guy who brandishes guns in the Capitol, blew up a pumpkin to protest [no fault], and called the Attorney General anti-Catholic. This is the future of the Republican Party”
The side effects of having an unrepentant lawbreaker as a governor.
Something occurred to me this morning.
One of the ways in which government has been able to operate at a board level is by Zoom, of some other streaming service. The problem with this however, was the ways in which the streaming option limited the ability of those who wish to attend meetings and keep government open and transparent.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
Effective immediately and continuing until April 15, 2020 at 11:59 pm, to the extent that the Open Meetings Act, 1976 PA 267, as amended, MCL 15.261 to 15.272 (“OMA”) requires that a meeting of a public body be held in a physical place available to the general public or requires the physical presence of one or more members of a public body, strict compliance with section 3 of the OMA, MCL 15.263, is temporarily suspended in order to alleviate any such physical-place or physical-presence requirements, as follows:
Etc., and so on.. (feel free to follow through and see the conditions)
The order allows forms of electronic meetings that would not otherwise be allowed under legislative authority without the power assumed by the governor. It essentially kept local governments ability to operate under ‘stay home’ conditions that might arise.
The state’s top law enforcement officer says she will allow local police to “exercise their best judgment” about whether to enforce Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-home edict until a lawsuit challenging the governor’s emergency powers is decided in court.
Bottom line, Michigan’s AG knew that the governor’s orders expired on April 30, 2020 at 11:59 pm and, any further actions by Half Whitmer are illegitimate and unlawful.
Multiple media outlets and the Michigan Republican Party have reported that a lawsuit has been filed in the Michigan Court challenging Gov. Witless’ authority to crank out an endless litany of Executive Orders relating to the Wuhan virus.
They have asked for an expedited ruling in this matter.
Two quick points:
First, it was filed in the Michigan Court of Claims. Their track record in this area, Judge Murray’s legal rationale especially, is questionable at best and laughable at worst. Martinko, et al vs. Whitmer is a perfect example of my skepticism.
I DO NOT see them ruling favorably in this case. It will most likely be going to the Michigan Supreme Court.
Second, this is only going to address PA 302 of 1945, it does not address anything else.
We already have an AG shooting off “opinions” on the legality of a rogue governor’s actions. While it is doubtful that they will be upheld, AG Nessel’s actions do throw a monkey wrench into the works of bringing Michigan back.
FYI, I’m speaking to a few people regarding a second front to dealing with PA 302…more to follow.
Another “lost decade” is not out of the realm of possibility if the governor’s actions are not remedied in time.
