Ultimately Trump is going to have to decide this has gone on long enough and start working to end it. It’s a big problem for him to be running as the Freedom and Liberty candidate when as a practical matter those things are ceasing to exist.

Whitmer just extended emergency order again. Of course, GOP sued her and Judge appointed by former Dem GOv Granholm sided with Whitmer. So GOP then asked for Michigan SC to hear the ruling to which 3 dems and one Republican Judge refused to hear the case and said it need to follow normal appeal case as it doesn’t meet their criteria that “harm will be done if not heard quickly”. They also said the deciding Judge doesn’t have to move it appeal Judge quickly due to same reason “ they don’t feel any harm will be done and should take the normal slow route”.

So here we are since March, since June Judge rulings with our GOv being able to extend emergency order indefinitely.

Once again Republican Judge sides with Dems.

In many states, they legally did end after 30 days. Everyone is just acting as if they didn’t.

Eventually they’ll try to press the issue in the wrong court and it will all collapse on them.

The challenge will be when the people stand up and tell these tyrants to Kiss Their @$$!

No mayor, No governor, No President has any authority to override the constitution!

I will also include in the No Authority column: Congress or any court .. Which includes the Supreme Court!

The tyrants of the SCOTUS issue ‘opinions’ .. their ‘opinions’ carry no enforcement backing!

I wrote a couple of blogs dealing with the office of Roman dictator. The Senate established the office for six month terms and could fire the dictator at any time. Consuls (executives) did not declare the military emergencies that demanded the extraordinary power.

It is way stupid to allow state governors to declare and extend their emergency power.

Dictators and Republics Part I of III.

“A stopped broken clock is right twice a day. Now a broken clock that simply moves too slow, that might be wrong twice a day, if time catches up and passes it twice.”

Either way, the clock is not a clock unless it is functional.
