Steven Ahle| Opinion| Both Houses of the legislature in Michigan sue Gretchen Whitmer, the tyrannical candidate vying to be Joe Biden’s running mate after she bypassed them to unilaterally extend the closure of the state by a month.
The legislature had denied her request to extend the state of emergency, so she merely denied that she needed their approval to bankrupt large numbers of businesses and individuals in the state.
Her shut down orders are very inconsistent. You can go to home depot to buy a hammer but are forbidden to buy even a single tomato plant at that very same store.
Last week, both houses of the legislature voted to approve the filing of a lawsuit against the governor who is in violation of Michigan state law.
She has blown any chance she had of becoming Biden’s running mate as she has angered many across the state that would cost Biden the important state of Michigan. They have filed a petition of recall against the governor and it currently has about 330,000 signatures. Not enough to trigger a recall election but plenty to scare Biden off.
“The Legislature is left with no choice but to seek the court’s intervention to restore constitutional order,” Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) said.
Chatfield contended Whitmer opted to “go it alone,” and not work with the legislature.
“Because of that we filed a lawsuit today in the Court of Claims, challenging the governor’s unconstitutional actions,” Chatfield said, according to the Detroit News.
“Today was very avoidable, but it is necessary. It’s a sad day for our state because we truly should all be working together.”
The duo are seeking a “speedy hearing” for the suit, and would like the court to find that Whitmer’s “ongoing ‘emergency’ orders are improper and invalid” under Michigan law.
Last week, both the House and Senate passed resolutions allowing their respective leaders to pursue legal action against Whitmer after she extended the state of emergency, which expired April 28.
Her action required the shuttering of bars, restaurants, casinos, and theaters for another 28 days.
“If she does not recognize the end of the emergency declaration, we have no other choice, but to act for our constituents,” Shirkey said, the News reported.
