SpaceDog, it's real simple and I know that there are those who wish things are as you described, but, in fact, the government gets it's power to do anything from the consent of the governed. "We the people" is the supreme authority in Michigan, as in any government. The GOP can keep pushing, grabbing and looting, but the people are beginning to awake, and shame on the GOP when they do. I'm truly hoping things will not be bloody, but that depends on how thick-headed the GOP is. After 235 years of government being tweaked into what we've had, now the GOP is recreating "governor" into "king" (or !tyrant!). Will the citizenry stand for it? I'd bet not, for they will no longer have any illusion they have anything to lose. The GOP will not even have the Tea Party followers when this round of looting is over.
