Michigan's stay-at-home order does NOT infringe on constitutional rights, rules judge as he threw out a lawsuit filed against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that tried to reverse her decision to lock down the state
Michigan's stay-at-home order imposed during the coronavirus outbreak does not infringe on constitutional rights, according to a judge's ruling that threw out a lawsuit filed against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Court of Claims Judge Christopher M. Murray denied granting an injunction of the governor's March 24th order requested in the lawsuit filed by five state residents.
Judge Murray, however, said the residents' claims that the order infringed on their constitutional rights were not strong enough due to the severity of the pandemic.
Reversing the order 'would not serve the public interest, despite the temporary harm to plaintiffs' constitutional rights,' wrote the judge in the court ruling.
The ruling came down as armed demonstrators descended on the state's capitol demanding Michigan be reopened. A protester yells at Michigan State Police after protesters occupied the state capitol building Thursday
