yes i was aware of these laws. so since the more current one requires approval and should supersede the old one she needs to get approval first. dictators and tyrants do otherwise. why did she bother to get approval the first time if she didnt need it?????

and for the record i'm not against her having some authority in this situation but i'm very uncomfortable with anyone, democrat or republican having unchecked power over me. why doesnt the ****ing media question this???? this is their job!

Media is a business, businesses exist to make money. Sensationalism and ratings equal money. Its that simple. Media is not some kind of altruistic watchdog, media is a for profit.enterprise.

Look at any political "news" event on CNN and FOX--you would swear they were not covering the same story.

well, then they are not news but entertainment. and when you do not hold people in positions of power accountable you end up with rulers that do not care about the people.

I really dont believe the political lean entirely pure...More of a combination of ideology and marketing..

Gov. Whitmer also thinks that her authority in Michigan "trumps" President Trump. I don't think so. Anyway hoping to get the boat out Monday. Lots of fishing boats and pontoons on the small lakes today.
