The Democrat Governor of Michigan is screaming and crying as the state’s Supreme Court handed down a ruling which made her COVID-19 mandates and rules meaningless. But in true Democrat fashion of not conceding, Gretchen Whitmer released a statement making sure citizens remember the Supreme Court ruling doesn’t take effect for 21 days and that her mandates should be treated as law.

The problem with Whitmer’s mandates was they would shut down the entire economy of Michigan. According to the Washington Examiner, if the state’s Supreme Court ruled in her favor, it would close the following places.

Restaurants, food courts, cafes, coffeehouses, bars, taverns, brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, wineries, tasting rooms, clubs, hookah bars, cigar bars, vaping lounges, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors, schools, churches, theaters, cinemas, libraries, museums, gymnasiums, fitness centers, public swimming pools, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, spas, casinos, and racetracks.

After the 4-3 ruling, Whitmer didn’t hesitate to show her disdain for the justices, even accusing them of playing politics.

In her statement, she said, “Today’s Supreme Court ruling, handed down by a narrow majority of Republican justices, is deeply disappointing, and I vehemently disagree with the court’s interpretation of the Michigan Constitution. It is important to note that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days, and until then, my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law. Furthermore, after 21 days, many of the responsive measures I have put in place to control the spread of the virus will continue under alternative sources of authority that were not at issue in today’s ruling.”

So even after the Supreme Court shot down her orders, she releases a statement telling people that even after 21 days, many of her orders will stay in place under a different authority. Obviously, Whitmer didn’t go into much detail on how she would do that, but it does make one wonder.

But not all politicians are upset at the ruling, Michigan House Speaker, Lee Chatfield (R) praised the decision by the court. He said, “This is a giant win for the people of Michigan and for the democratic process. The people of this state have been denied a voice and a seat at the table in decisions that have impacted every facet of their lives and their futures over the past eight months. They deserve to have their representatives bring their voice and their concerns into this decision-making process.”
