77-year-old Karl Manke has won the final battle with faux governor Gretchen Whitmer in her efforts to keep his barbershop closed after the state Supreme Court ruled in his favor 7-0.
The court is divided 4-3 in favor of conservatives, so a 7-0 ruling is monumental and Whitmer is just plain mental.
Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel has been relentlessly going after Manke with everything they have. Fortunately, they have very little which gave him the advantage.
He now gets his license back and there is little that they can do at this point unless they appeal to a federal court, which would be futile since federal courts tend to keep out of state affairs.
A Great Lakes News EXCLUSIVE- The Michigan Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of Shiawassee County barber Karl Manke. Manke’s attorney, David Kallman, called it the “biggest, most lopsided victory of his career.” This court ruling shoots down Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel’s attempt to fine Manke and pull his license after he started to cut hair before lifting certain executive orders.
According to Great Lakes News, Manke’s attorney, David Kallman, called it the “biggest, most lopsided victory of his career.”
Whitmer and Nessel fined Manke and stripped him of his license after he repeatedly refused to close his business in defiance of Whitmer’s executive orders.
A Michigan Court of Appeals upheld that Manke’s license suspension was valid, but the Supreme Court decision reversed that.
Manke was defiant after the Appeals Court ruling and told WILX, “I’m still open, still working until they cut my hands off.”
Breitbart News caught up with Manke during the recent “Operation Haircut” protest.
“This is an oppressive move on this governor’s part,” Manke said, observing that it “reflects almost a police state.”
“I refuse to stand down on this,” he said.
“I wasn’t this rock star three weeks ago,” Manke told Breitbart News, but Whitmer made him one.
He thanked God for the development.
“I’m still standing up. I still have that courage,” Manke said.
