As Michiganders continue to defy her orders, Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer lashed out at residents on Monday, saying the
coronavirus lockdown is “not optional.”
She claimed to know how “frustrating” the situation is, before cautioning “I expect people to follow the law.
“These executive orders are not a suggestion. They’re not optional. They’re not helpful hints.”
Owosso barber Karl Manke has become a like folk hero in the movement to reopen the state. The 77-year-old Manke has refused to close his shop, despite repeated orders to do so.

the old bat should recall that laws in michigan first start out in the legislature, not in the governors bathroom. failing to have martial law in place, she can go fish.
ReplyDeleteI can see her going down.
DeleteI can see her swinging from the Mackinaw Bridge for all to see, her head at an acute angle...
ReplyDeleteThat would do!
DeleteI'd put in for a raffle ticket to be the one who kicks her off for that last short trip... and I don't live in MI!
Delete:) !
DeleteAh, but it IS optional. No governor has the power to override the guarantees of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which protect personal liberty and property. Either Whitmer doesn't know this, in which case she's too ignorant to hold her position, or she does, in which case she deserves a long prison sentence under Section 242 of Title 18 of the United States Code!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I'll vote for that. :)
DeleteIt all depends on what the laws of her state are. Virginia gives no such power to our governor, but he did it anyway. And imagine my surprise that not a single judge came forward with an injunction to stop him. Not a single states attorney, AG, or private lawyer has taken him to court over it.

Seems the Thomas Moore Law Center would be one like minded.
DeleteShe sounds like a dictator parody from a movie.
ReplyDeleteImagine the "Hitler in bunker" satire videos people make!
“These executive orders are not a suggestion. They’re not optional. They’re not helpful hints.”
Make it! :)
DeleteShe's certainly given me some memes:

Sure has and they were great. My favorite is the very first one which I shall use. Thanks.
DeleteI live in Lansing, Michigan. The law said she could declare a state of emergency for 45 days on her own, after which it would require the legislatures approval. The legislature met at the end of April just before the 45 days ran out and voted not to extend it. She then extended it on her own. She claims that a 1945 law lets her keep it in effect indefinitely, but a law was passed in 1976 putting in the 45 day limit. She keeps on putting out executive orders anyway.
ReplyDeleteGuess she isn't interested in getting reelected but seems some law firm should have taken this up.
