   Constitutional amendment time?

How would we do anything with the Constitution to handle one out of control Governor?  I am not saying she should not have powers during a public health emergency, just that she should use common sense and follow the general path of others instead of trying to make a name for herself and heightening her image.

How is it a false choice?  People will permanently lose their jobs, businesses will permanently close, all because we have a nanny state Governor that decides what is essential and what is not essential instead of providing guidelines to the people and letting them act accordingly.  But I suppose all those economic woes don’t matter much because at least Governor Whitmer has deemed the lottery essential, so the state does have some revenue coming in.

How does waving a rebel flag, handing candy to children and congregating in large groups save one job?

It was a protest.  Not sure about the rebel flag, I was not there, but protests in general may not always result in any changes, however people still have a right to do it unless you wish to suspend the 1st amendment.  The thing is our governor is trying to raise her political capital at the expense of an economy.  Good for her, I suppose she hopes sleep Joe is watching.

  I thought you were suggesting she has too much power. I wouldn't rely on common sense working.

Some Metro Detroit communities refusing to enforce Whitmer's lawn care ban

Arrest them immediately and send them to re-education camps for flouting the CCPW (Central Communist Party of Whitmer) and Dear Leader's diktats.

Recall is the only avenue we can take as a constitutional amendment is not a valid path for one rogue governor.  But with her, I agree, she suffers from LOCS.

Apparently they were blocking hospital exits and entrances and on-duty ambulances as well. Idiots.

Apparently that was fake news.

 

But at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, Lansing Mayor Andy Schor said he hadn't heard any complaints from the Lansing Police Department or Lansing Fire Department about emergency vehicles being blocked from getting to an emergency because of the event.

Despite heavy traffic, Sparrow’s ambulance entrances to and from the hospital remained clear, Foren said. While it may have been possible some ambulances were stuck in traffic farther out from the hospital, Foren said he had received no such reports.

There are still photos of the traffic situation they created blocking ambulances.

You do know that the virus was circulating in CA back in February right?

So the officials from the PD, FD and hospital and their statements are meaningless?  These were not Antifa protestors.

No, they're tea party supporters who are mad about a female Democrat running things. 

 

Antifa protests when they're a white supremacist rally. If you have a problem with an anti-fascist movement, you might not want to read up on World War 2.

I have a problem with fascist calling themselves anti fascist and then hiding themselves.  Regardless, this is about people peacefully protesting an out of control governor not causing any issues for emergency vehicles despite what you say.  More than likely the MI governor will not listen, so the recall avenue is next.
