They’re totally defying her un-Constitutional order
Moviegoers pack Michigan drive-in theater, defying Whitmer’s stay-home order
Cars were lined up for an estimated quarter mile or more to get into the Capri Drive-in Theater Friday, May 15, when it opened in defiance of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order.
Battle Creek resident Ashley Rathbun was among those that ventured out to catch a movie.
“We’ve been cooped up in the house for the last couple months,’’ she said. “We heard the drive in was going to be opening and we said that’s a nice way to get out and spend some family time.â€
While Tom Magocs, who co-owns the theater with his wife, Susan, was getting ready for the first movie screenings of the year, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was answering a question about the Coldwater-area business and others defying her executive orders to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
“I think the vast majority of people in our state get it and they’re doing the right things,†Whitmer said during her COVID-19 press conference in Lansing. “For those who aren’t, you know, we take this serious. This is not a suggestion. These are not thoughts about how you can protect yourself. This is the force of law. And we expect to people to follow the law.â€
The family drive-in theater is in a category of businesses that the governor’s office says is temporarily prohibited as part of an executive order. Whitmer’s order to shelter in place and all non-essential businesses be shuttered isn’t set to expire until May 28.
If everyone is in their cars and staying 6 feet away from those not in the household, what’s the problem? That’s what they told us, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and social distance. It’s not like other people are sitting right next to each other. Some people are just drunk on power and like telling others how to live their lives. Speaking of her order
A Michigan Court of Claims judge is tasked with determining if Gov. Gretchen Whitmer acted beyond her legal authority when she extended the coronavirus state of emergency on April 30 without the approval of the Legislature.
If she did, that could mean every subsequent executive order Whitmer issued throughout the coronavirus pandemic, including extension of the stay-at-home order until May 28, wasn’t valid.
If she loses, will she comply?
