Incredible. Somebody has got to stop these governors. I read about the law that the MI passed halting their governor’s insanity, which of course she will veto. But what it said was that a governor could not declare this type of total shut-down emergency without the approval of the legislature, and it had to be limited to two weeks and could not be extended unless the governor got approval from the legislature again.
That’s what we need.

Unfortunately, many states have granted emergency powers to governors that are now being abused to further their own political agendas. Too many governors are issuing orders that actually violate the US Constitution. It sure looks like many of these governors are intentionally trying to wreck the economy to hurt the re-election of Trump with no regard to the pain and suffering it causes to citizens.
State legislatures would be wise to review these emergency power grants and revise them to limit abuses, especially unconstitutional orders. Which reminds me, I need to contact my LA state representative and senator about this.
