Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is facing a crisis in the battleground state if a judge’s orders limiting her power to issue executive orders in the state remains in place. According to the Detroit Free Press, Whitmer’s orders were shot down after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled last Friday she didn’t have the authority to use executive orders to continue coronavirus-related provisions.
