Michigan county prosecutor dismissing all charges related to violating Whitmer's COVID-19 orders

 With thanks to The Last English Prince.

The Wayne County, Michigan, prosecutor declared on Monday that she will dismiss all charges related to the violation of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's (D) COVID-19 executive orders after a state Supreme Court ruling. 
Gretchen Whitmer in a blue shirt: Michigan county prosecutor dismissing all charges related to violating Whitmer's COVID-19 orders© Prosecutor Kym Worthy's office released a statement announcing that the almost 1,700 cases in the county involving violations of Whitmer's coronavirus restrictions, most of which were in Detroit, would be dismissed. 
The Wayne County prosecutor's office (WCPO) cited a Michigan Supreme Court ruling that determined Whitmer did not have the authority to extend a state of emergency past April 30, 2020, meaning she could not issue or renew any coronavirus emergency orders beyond that date. 
The prosecutor's office said it and law enforcement agencies had issued violations and misdemeanors associated with breaches of the governor's orders before the ruling, following the applicable law at the time. 
After reviewing the cases, "it was determined that there is not a legal basis to proceed with them," the office's statement said. "WCPO will be dismissing all adjudicated cases and all pending cases."

GRTWT.

"Did not have authority to extend a state of emergency"

Well that's great. In Michigan and every other fucking state (Pennsylvania!) where the governator didn't have the authority...

but how many businesses shuttered, how many livelihoods lost during the time they didn't have the fucking authority? And you state this now?

Everyone who had their business lost should be able to sue their governor personally for losses and their state legislators for abdication of their responsibility to stop these fuckers at the outset and protect their constituents.

I'll fetch the tar, Pasto the feathers. Epa get the rail! AoW the pitchforks and WC the torches!

I am about to the point that I bet the country can run itself (on the domestic front) for a few years minus Congress and the Executive branch. Between dementia and in-fighting, AOC going all Oprah and telling the whole world about her sexual assault - who needs them?

Yes the lawlessness is spreading and it will lead to bloodshed.
Judgement is coming upon a nation which has rejected the Lord.
