Hey Gov Half-Whit - That Was A Nice Try To Create Felonies By Executive Order

Our Dear Governor Whitmer does love the power that comes from her state of emergency.

As a surprise to no one, she refuses to let it got and keeps trying to expand her one-woman rule in the name of keeping us all safe.

Thankfully, the legislature and the courts are waking up to her power grab.

A power grab that included creating felonies against business owners that failed to abide by her workplace safety based on edicts that solely emanate from the governor's office.

The Court of Claims just shut down her attempt to bypass the legislature and create law out of whole cloth from the governor's desk.

While the courts are not doing enough to check her overreach, it's good to see some pumping of the brakes on what otherwise would be unchecked rule form the Governor's mansion.
