You get outside Metro Detroit, this state is full of some fucked up people. So is Metro Detroit, but in a different way. The Gov's orders were thrown out by the Supreme Court a few days ago as an over reach (must have legislative support). They "expire" 21 days after the ruling. She says she has other ways to keep them in place. Some cities are now starting to issue mask orders. It might get nuts here if she tries to ignore the Court with new orders.

My understanding is that it's not exactly that the Governor's orders were thrown out, it's that a Republican state Supreme Court decided that state statutes which give the governor emergency powers and have been around for decades are unconstitutional. In other words, it's not that Whitmer abused her powers -- it's that the Legislature did something unconstitutional decades ago. Hard to imagine a Republican court doing that to a Republican governor during an emergency that is killing people.
