    Granholm Calls On AG To GRRR...Do Something

    The executive Diva is mad.

    Governor Granholm says Attorney General Mike Cox does not have the constitutional authority on his own to unilaterally decide the state's position on the issue of healthcare reform. She says the main client of the Attorney General is the Executive Branch.

    Granholm has asked Michigan's attorney General Mike Cox to intervene on behalf of the state to support her position on the health care bill.  Cox filed a suit along with other attorneys general to stop the bill which on its face violates the 9th and 10 amendments, assuming too much federal authority. Granholm wants to give the federal government more authority over Michigan citizens, so she supports the health care takeover.

    Clueless.

    But hey.. I'm not saying she is stupid.. In fact, My guess is she was the smartest girl in acting class.  Its about loyalty, and a clear understanding of our constitution.  What the Canadian born child star does not understand, is that you cannot force people to buy any product as a condition of citizenship.. that is.. unless you have a frame of reference that comes from another country..  Or perhaps San Francisco, that marvelous enigma upon enigma etc.., that brings us such geniuses as Nancy Pelosi, and a not-so-vile food product.. Rice-A-Roni.

    Should Cox accept her order?

    Yes.  In the way bureaucrats manage such things.  Deliberately.  Shuffle it to the slowest attorney in the pool, with extensive background investigations, economic impact studies, and throw in a few misspellings so that it can be legitimately reassigned for reworking by the next slowest person when that is done.  Then take a month to look at it personally, and send it back for some "minor" revisions, then go on vacation with the stipulation no action on the item until he returns.

    Aside from that..  Cox should give the governor the middle finger.  Not as a sign of disrespect, oh no..  But merely to let her know he is on board with her plan to screw the citizens of Michigan and the rest of the country.  Think of it as a "gang sign."  Of course it should not be confused with the dropping of trousers and full moon, which is the sign of the MEA.

    Bottom line?

    The citizens of Michigan voted for Mike Cox.  The US born, US Marine veteran won easily the last time in an election where other high profile Republicans were getting dropped like our constitutional protections with the current administration.   Whether you like him personally or not, he has defended our state and the US constitution in more ways than most, and has earned the trust of this state's citizens.  Granholm can neither fire him, nor can she do anything to the office of the attorney general from her lame duck post.

    Its up to the people now.  For several years now, Granholm's words and deeds have crippled this state, and she has shown to be not worthy of any more consideration than one might give a neighbor's gabby 4 year old who wants to tell you about her trip to the doll store.  Mike Cox has sworn to uphold the constitution, and he is doing so, and is thus serving the citizens properly in his capacity.

    I'm not saying she is stupid."

    I am!

    Look at the wonderful politicians Michigan has elected, Good & Welfare John Conyers, Control the People John Dingell, Bart "I've never met a baby I didn't want to kill" Stupak, Jennifer "I'm a Canadian Marxist" Granholm, the list is endless!

    God help us!

    For a crumb from the One's table. I think in the terms of that Hero of the Left Vladimir Lenin (not Karls brother)Granholm is among those classified as "useful idiots."
    But once she has completed her governor stuff she can go back to the stage. Maybe star in Snow White and the Seven Dorks. Co-starring Levin, Stabs-us-now, Stupak, Schauer, Peters, Kildee and Dillion.

    Granholm has been nothing short of spectacular and exemplary in ordering the flag to half mast for our brave fallen. Other than that, a miserable and complete failure in her capacity. Eight years of smoke and mirrors.

    How does this governor think that Michigan is going to be able to pick up the tab on $500 million in the unfunded medicaid mandate?

    She is hallucinating if she thinks this will be good for our economy.  

    Powers of AG (none / 0) (#8)

    14.101 Intervention; authorization.

    Sec. 1.

    The attorney general of the state is hereby authorized and empowered to intervene in any action heretofore or hereafter commenced in any court of the state whenever such intervention is necessary in order to protect any right or interest of the state, or of the people of the state. Such right of intervention shall exist at any stage of the proceeding, and the attorney general shall have the same right to prosecute an appeal, or to apply for a re-hearing or to take any other action or step whatsoever that is had or possessed by any of the parties to such litigation.

    History: 1919, Act 232, Eff. Aug. 14, 1919 ;-- CL 1929, 187 ;-- CL 1948, 14.101

    The law is from 1919, so it might have been amended but that does not appear to be the case.  If so,  Cox is correct.  The state has vested in him the power to continue the suit against Obamacare.

    That the lefties never had a problem with old Frank Kelly going of on a wild hair when he got the urge. Never heard a peep about that. And he did it a hell of a lot more then Mike has. So let the Czarina stomp her wittle feets and scream and toss her tantrum. It won't do a bit of good. If she was a lawyer and had ever been the Attorney General she would know exactly what the duties and authorities of the AG are. Oh, Yeah. I guess she is a lawyer and she was AG. She was a worse AG then she is a Governor. Guess that doesn't say to much about her ability to comprehend.
