A state court in Michigan ruled that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has the authority to extend the states state of emergency, refuting claims made by GOP leaders in the legislature that she overstepped her authority.
The judge called claims by the Republican state lawmakers "meritless."
Judge Cynthia Stephen noted that Whitmer did exceed her authority by trying to extend the state of emergency under the Emergency Management Act of 1976, which requires approval by the legislature, acccording to the Detroit News.
However, the governor did have the constitutional authority to extend the state of emergency under the Emergency Management Act of 1945, the judge ruled.
"Through two distinct acts, stated in plain and certain terms, the Legislature has granted the governor broad but focused authority to respond to emergencies that affect the state and its people," Stephens said, according to the Detroit News.

When I heard and learned that about the numbers regarding the American Revolution, I didnt believe it (I guess really I didnt want to believe it) but when reality sank in and the further I read, its like those numbers hold true in much of life, even going back to biblical times, certainly back to what Jesus said while here on earth.
Human beings are, after all, human!
Some see and desire to stop the flood of tyranny, some dont see or dont believe the rot will continue until there is nothing left to stand up for, others dont care, one way or another or worse yet, embrace the rot thinking it will make their lives easier, i.e. better.
