Then our county health installed another mandate. Nothing has changed yet.

And your tranny health director did the same and the court will uphold them.

All they threw out were the governor's singular powers via EO. The court just said the governOR couldn't do it, not that the governMENT can't.

How does this hold any ground? Health departments can’t do anything. Just ignore that shit. Damn

Yup, everywhere has the "County Health Mandate" thing posted in their windows now. Gretch just told the counties to go an do it because it will give them more time.

Now anyone adversely affected by these needs to sue her ass in Civil Court. Break them!

I believe people like governors are immune from direct liability as a cause of their policy - people would essentially be suing their own states' taxpayers

You'd think so right? But it's the same reasoning that judges can't be sued for making the wrong ruling. Sometimes it's a lose/lose where you can't make everyone happy, and SOMEBODY would feel wronged. Daily lawsuits would grind the entire system to a halt, and only the ULTRA RICH could afford to run for office.

Now, all that said, here's a different solution that I've thought of for police. Officials could be forced to buy into an insurance fund, and their and their rates would be determined based on the amount of lawsuits and damages awarded. (again, the ultra rich would still be able to afford being terrible)

Seems like we’d have a lot less corrupt judges and prosecutors, if we could sue for that.

Another way to illustrate my point is with soldiers - should they be allowed to be sued over friendly fire and/or collateral damage?

If I’m reading this right, you just can’t name the state itself in a suit, but you can the official.

Granted, it looks like you’re right and damages would be paid out by the taxpayers, however.

(Am not a lawyer so could be reading it very wrong).

You name the individual because the remedy a court can give is limited to ordering the official to do or not do some thing, governmental entities don't do things, the people holding the offices do. Money isn't normally part of the equation, at least in terms of being paid out to a plaintiff.

The orders issued last week by the Department of Health and Human Services are not affected by either of the Supreme Court rulings and remain in effect. Here is a list of reissued coronavirus orders still in effect across Michigan: Face mask requirement and gathering limits. Face mask requirement for schools. Nursing home and long-term care facility safety measures. Schools must issue notification of confirmed coronavirus cases.

Do people even read the articles?

"However, several coronavirus orders remain in effect despite the Supreme Court’s latest ruling. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services used the Public Health Code of 1978 last week to reissue orders requiring face coverings, gathering limits, nursing home safety measures and more."

Gallagher already sued Newsom, and the trial starts later this month. Newsom was also barred from making more EOs in the time being, but he bypassed that by using county health officials and mayors like Garcetti.
