Michigan state House and Senate sue Gretchen Whitmer over state of emergency extension

The Legislature authorized the state House and Senate to file the lawsuit last week and it was filed in a state court of claims Wednesday morning."The Legislature did not approve an extension of the state emergency declaration and as such we expected the declaration to end," Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said in a statement. "Instead, we saw the governor ignore the law, unilaterally extend the emergency, and write new executive orders.

"Along with their complaint, the leaders filed a motion for immediate declaratory judgment, arguing that"the Governor is acting pursuant to emergency powers that she does not have while eviscerating laws that she is charged to enforce. She has chosen to regulate every aspect of nearly 10 million lives with no consent or input from the people's representatives, whose assistance the Governor publicly disdains.

Democrats are for life. Republicans are for death.

Amen. She went over the top

The fake news don’t like that - I surprised that CNN tweeting this

Let them all protest. Just don’t come to the hospital when you get the rona.

I’m committing suicide if they win this case. No hope for humanity if this is the case.

Separated at birth?

This is some of the crooked man in the White House doings, he wants it his way for his rich donors. He cares nothing about the American people, we the every day working people.

GovWhitmer - please keep protecting your citizens even if they’re too stupid to understand what you’re doing & why.

That’s not right, she’s doing it for their own health!

Democrats saving people and republican saving people by sacrificing human life..USA is not a great nation. Always sacrifice human life for money and power

Let her do her job!!

She needs to be recalled and removed from office

GOP in WI also filed a lawsuit against Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

But it doesn't. And it'll fail, just like Republicans.

America now see a pattern with these supposedly lawsuits against Democratic Governors. The Republican Party, headed by Trump, planned this in their private talks to sue democratic elected governors instead of fighting the virus outbreak. Also to distract from Trump bad leadership

Communist governor

Uh oh - all the fat little boys with their SWAT costumes and guns are gonna come out again!

Put this woman in jail.

Has MoscowMitch packed the Federal MI Court Donny pretty much hates states rights, unless he can blame them for something. How much pull does does the Federales have there?

Jail for her

Both the Michigan state House and Senate of course leaders are GOP their just jealous cause the governor who happens to be a democrat is just doing her job plain and simple. They have no case against her, but they will keep trying though

Politics is felty and always no one cares about real people and their problems. This is not a time about Blue or Red, this is about life and death. Shame

Gotta luv Constitutions!!

I support my Governor here in Michigan 💯!

They need to go to Hell too. She’s trying to protect her citizens. She’s in the right.

Good!! Thank God Republicans are fighting back!! These political hack dems are destroying this country!!

It's about time someone stood up to tyranny.

But wait... isn't she just following the guidelines Trump put up?

Jacobson vs. Massachusetts. That’s it, that’s the tweet

Oh, so first order didnt, but extension does. They are just trying to look good for their daddy Trump.

These goddamned people are determined to destroy the country. Wonder if they have any idea what they're doing or if they've just decided tens of thousands more dead people are worth the election victories and stock tips.

Seen it coming a mile away.

I hope they rot in hell with Covid for eternity

Gov Witless learned from China. Weld them shut in their houses. Cremate them alive if they show symptoms. Emperor Xi so proud of her excellent job being the empress of Michigan

We need to hold China and their cohorts responsible! CNN should not be so scared of China,

In republican words..SO.

The policies she has enacted are 100% racist. She is trying to keep the African-American in check.

GOP murderers and criminals

Does that also give precedent for constituents to sue members of the House for reckless endangerment when covid spreads?

Seriously? Woman is trying to keep people ALIVE which is MORE than I can say for the GOP, realDonaldTrump & GOPChairwoman

Buy say so buy

Trump wins Michigan....damn that was easy

It's not like a he-said/she-said kind of thing. You've got the proof of the Nazi/Confederate stuff in pictures so framing this as Whitmer's opinion is ridiculous. It was done to show this pea-for-brains cow that her draconian policies are reminiscent of the failed Third Reich. Just say no to socialism. LIAR!!!
