Michigan legislators sue Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for extending state of emergency

Michigan legislators have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, saying she acted “beyond her authority” when extending the coronavirus (COVID-19) state of emergency, which did not receive backing from Republicans.

Today, the Michigan Legislator sued the Governor for exceeding her authority. There may a few rounds in the lower courts first. I expect it to end up in the Michigan Supreme Court. Hopefully, they rule that she has overstepped her authority. It's important to keep this or the next Governor from trying the same tactic.
