The law states that if you have any reason for not wearing a mask, including it fogs your mind, you do not have to wear one.

They don't fog my mind, they piss me off... so, awesome, now I don't have to wear one!

Are you trying to tell me that Trump can't medically tolerate wearing a mask?

That is an EO. It is not a law.

All of you answers apply to governors' EOs too. Especially this governor's,

Yes, they do...

whose State is in a declared emergency, both locally and federally.

Their emergency is not my - or a real - emergency.

It is a facade. It is a pretext to tyrannize the people.

They can take their emergency and shove it.

The president is NOT above the law, even though he and his accolades think he is.

Why did you not respond to the definition I supplied of "Executive Order"?

President's or Governor's declaration which has the force of law, usually based on existing statutory powers, and requiring no action by the Congress or state legislature

What words in the phrase "executive orders carry the force of law" don't you understand?

You and your buddies can repeat that lie all week long. Won't make it true. Trump's EOs are legally binding and enforceable as law, as are State Governors' EOs.

During emergency situations, such as the 9/11 attacks and now the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, states have emergency police powers to enforce orders to protect public health and safety. Law enforcement officers can issue citations or arrest people who violate these orders.

For public health emergencies, state laws also allow law enforcement and health officials to enforce official quarantine and isolation measures.

Presidents are not exempt from State and local laws, statutes, ordinances or executive orders.

How 'far' we have come since black communities were being improved with help from the Administration as illustrated in this thread.
I wonder if this particular event in Detroit, looking 'too good' galvanised the recent unrest and set off which 'event' of police brutality to highlight and use for political and cultural gain?

Governor whitmer's referral to the doj for nursing home negligence will soon be the big story.

Do you plan on continuing to derail this whole thread? Just asking.
