    Michigan Supreme Court strikes down Whitmer's executive orders

    LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down months of orders by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that were aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus, saying she illegally drew authority from a 1945 law that doesn't apply.

    The court said the law was an "unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution."

    The decision is an extraordinary development in a monthslong tug-of-war between Whitmer, a Democrat, and the Republicans who control the Legislature who have complained that they've been shut out of major orders that have restricted education, the economy and health care.

    We are doing the happy dance!

    But unfortunately Oakland Co Health dept has put in place a mask order. We'll see what happens when we go shopping tomorrow.

    Lots of people are very scare of catching the virus that has a 99% recovery rate so I predict mask wearing will continue in the Democratic SE counties. I may have to start shopping in the next county!

    I kind of scratch my head when I see somebody in a car alone with a mask.
