Governor Rick Snyder (R-Mich.) and his Republican Reich will enact a law that would impose "financial martial law" upon struggling communities in the form of "financial managers" that would have the power to abrogate contracts at will and supersede the democratic process. There's been a lot of recent media attention focused on a similar disregard for the public will in Wisconsin, but what's happening in Michigan really makes Scott Walker look like an amateur.

Michigan Set To Enact Sweeping 'Financial Martial Law' Bill

Michigan lawmakers are on the verge of approving a bill that would enable the governor to appoint "emergency managers" -- officials with unilateral power to make sweeping changes to cities facing financial troubles.

Under the legislation, the Michigan Messenger reports, the governor could declare a "financial emergency" in towns or school districts. He could then appoint a manager to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, eliminate services - and even eliminate whole cities or school districts without any public input.

I don't see how it is constitutional to fire elected officials.

Will the managers wear brown shirts?

Well Jethro, I'll take everything back, all you have to do is provide the Article and Section of the Constitution that gives a Governor the power to to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, and eliminate services.

This should be easy Jethro, Republicans are strict Constitutionalists.

Considering all local powers are delegated by the State, why wouldn't the Governor and other state officials have the ability to take back the power they previously delegated?

"The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government"

Well, you can quote the Constitution. Be nice if it was at all relevant to our discussion.

The issue is whether it's "firing" them or whether they are reorganizing government as to make that position not longer exist.

I can also quote another document, one the conservative anti-government fringe needs to read and if necessary seek help to understand. Here for your personal edification is something to read and consider:

Please explain to us why you are cool with obama having the same thing at the federal level.

Or is it different?

Actually it is. States are allowed to do things that the Fed shouldn't even think about.

So why are the libs pissed off now, when they weren't when they were ok with it?

Find a link to the MI state Constitution, find in it where it says the gov is not allowed emergency powers.

brown shirts?

Shame on you.

the Czars that have been confirmed by the Senate have some power, the Czars that are not confirmed by the Senate, do not....is my understanding of these advisory positions of the president, Two Thumbs

Very true, and post justification from some obscure blog or silly source (see Odd-dude above).

Just because you're completely ignorant of the concept of dual sovereignty and how the federal Constitution in general -and Article 4, Section 4 in particular- don't apply, that's your problem.

Maybe you should just stick to the emotionally unhinged, epithet-peppered diatribes.

Once again, provide for us the Michigan Constitution, it NOT the US Constitution regulates what the Governor and State legislature can do. And since the Legislature and the Governor have LAWYERS to ensure their proposals are with in the confines of said document, I suspect you liberal whiners are full of shit.

He wouldn't need to change the law if he already had the power to fire elected officials, moron.
