A Michigan judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Republican leaders of the state's Legislature challenging Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's use of emergency powers to extend Michigan's state of emergency
Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens ruled that while Whitmer's action of re-declaring the same emergency violated the provisions of the state's Emergency Management Act, the Legislature's challenges to Whitmer's use of the Emergency Powers of Governor Act to issue executive orders are meritless. According to the judge's order, the Legislature's motion for immediate declaratory judgment has been denied and the case has been closed.
"Whitmer's office said in a statement after the ruling that the decision"recognizes that the Governor's actions to save lives are lawful and her orders remain in place.""She will continue to do what she's always done: take careful, decisive actions to protect Michiganders from this unprecedented, global pandemic.
