Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered businesses to disallow customers from entering their establishments unmasked, leaving owners worried about the uncertain position this leaves them in.

The mandate also requires masks be worn in enclosed public spaces and any crowded event as coronavirus cases are on the rise in Michigan. People who fail to comply with the order could face a $500 misdemeanor and a businesses could risk having their license suspended for not enforcing the policies.

It is past time for AG BARR to put an end to this abuse of power.

Barr doesn’t do much besides give television interviews and play his bagpipes.
I will always be grateful for him putting an end to the Mueller investigation. Other than that he has been a huge disappointment.

I think we need to have some professional opinions about the dangers of mask wearing. I have seen more than a few adjusting their masks with their hands and then touching items in the stores. Several people have indicated getting physically ill from them. . .and then there is the psychological issue.

Some people “wear” their masks under their chins.

Technically, you are wearing it.

No private business wants to be appointed the Mask Police. It’s impractical and at times downright dangerous. There are several cases of people overreacting to such mandates, sometimes with violence.

:: could face a $500 misdemeanor ::

Misdemeanor?
I would demand a citation from the Michigan Regulatory Code.
Making it a misdemeanor requires action by the Legislature.
Absent that, the Governor is making up legislation and in violation of the Executive authority in the State Constitution by doing so.
The legislature, by sitting idle, is likewise ceding the legislative ground given them by the State Constitution to legislate.

LOL

Sad but true. I can’t last more than a few minutes in a mask before becoming ill.

The masks people commonly wear are useless. The wearers are forced to breath air in and out from around the sides of the masks, and that air rapidly disperses.

I’m in Michigan on vacation right now.

We’re at my mother in laws house. Her county sheriff is a strong constitutionalist so not too worried about masks here

It's like trying to use chain link fence on your porch to keep out mosquitoes. It's completely useless except as a psychological weapon.

Stores have similar fears.

It is deprivation of rights under color of law.
