Michigan’s constitution allows for a long time between the passage of a bill and its implementation, 90 days from the end of the legislative session. The reason is twofold. It gives people and businesses who would be affected by the law a chance to make any necessary adjustments. It also allows time to appeal the law. The constitution also allows for emergency situations, allowing the law to have immediate effect. However, for a law to have immediate effect, it requires a 2/3rds vote in the Legislature.Republicans do not have a 2/3rds majority, but nonetheless, they have passed over 500 bills under “immediate effect.” How does that work? As Maddow shows, they aren’t even counting the votes. That’s right; Democrats’ votes are not even being counted.The Democrats sued and won, at least for now, and it will put every piece of legislation passed by the GOP into legal question.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one.

The best part of this is that all their legislation will be invalid.
