The Michigan Supreme Court issued a split decision late Friday that ruled against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a battle over her power to extend emergency declarations used to mandate COVID-19 restrictions over the last five months. The court's opinion throws into question dozens of orders issued by Whitmer related to the coronavirus pandemic, appearing to void them.
