Depending on how you count the days, today (or tomorrow) would be the "due date" by which the MI House would have to submit the 9 bills at issue, to the Governor for her review and approval/veto...as determined by a Court of Claims judge. tonysnyder.com/2025/03/mi-cou…

A Court of claims Judge has ordered oral arguments on this matter for 2/24! Listen to the podcast now, to understand the arguments being made in court next week!

Article 4, Section 33 of the Michigan Constitution reads in part, "Every bill passed by the legislature shall be presented to the governor before it becomes law..." but what does that mean for the lawsuit between the Michigan Senate and Michigan House? tonysnyder.com/2025/02/breaki…

We’ve had 4 different constitutions, since becoming a state (1835, 1850, 1908 & current 1963). Learn more about your state’s constitution at tonysnyder.com/blog/

@TravelsofJustin @Delta Wow. No kidding!!!!! Maybe because I called at 8 pm is why it was a short wait?

@tonysnyder @Delta Wow, that’s vastly different from the 4 hours I had to wait a few weeks ago!

Hey @Delta — Quick “Shout Out” to Beverly. She was outstanding! Dynamite customer service skills! Gave her 5 (out of 5) on your “1 question survey” after my call. 👍👍Loyal Delta guy right here! 👍👍

@TravelsofJustin @Delta 16 mins BUT they offer call back. So I wasn’t actually waiting on hold on the phone.

@tonysnyder @Delta How long was the wait to get to Beverly?

The MI Supreme Court will engage in a balancing test to determine if there's a compelling state governmental interest when a law infringes on a person's religious freedom. Listen here to what that balance test looks like... ow.ly/BCqN50Ev8KU #mileg #MichiganConstitution

@xz_cookie_zx Thanks, I thought so too! And, spoiler alert, I completely agree with the court's outcome on that case.

@tonysnyder Interesting concept

What happens when parents divorce, one parents wants to raise the children in one faith, but the other parents wants to raise the kids in a different faith? How does the #MichiganConstitution address this matter? ow.ly/KIwg50Ev8kI #mileg

How do you handle a situation where your religious beliefs & activities are infringed upon by a governmental requirement? We discuss how a "government privilege" and religious exercise conflict. #Michigan Constitution #mileg ow.ly/RVGI50Ev8d9

Does the #MichiganConstitution allow religious school teachers to be exempt from state teacher certifications? What if a religious school wants to hire a teacher for their school which doesn't have the state's "blessing"? #PunIntended tonysnyder.com/2020/03/episod… #mileg

The Michigan Supreme Court has held that your ability to believe what you want is absolute, but your ability to *act* on those beliefs is not. Just because your religion believes in human sacrifices does mean you can do so. ow.ly/DJik50Ev78q #mileg #michiganconstitution

This week's #ThirstyThursday we discuss (Part 1 of 4) Michigan's Freedom of Religion clause. As a reminder: It's Freedom *of* Religion, not Freedom *From* Religion. tonysnyder.com/2020/03/episod… #mileg

LinkedIn Advice: Looking to connect with someone you don't know? Include a message w/ the invite to explain what value you can bring to the connection. And if you don't include a message, don't list your occupation like you're talking on a cellphone while going through a tunnel

@kenwhitinger Thanks Ken! 👍❤️

@tonysnyder Well done Tony.

How well do you understand Freedom of Speech in Michigan? Can you exercise free speech at work? Can you voice frustration about the Michigan government on private property? This week's #ThirstyThursday for your brain can be quenched here... tonysnyder.com/2020/02/episod…

The Michigan Constitution has an Equal Protection clause which mirrors the US Constitution's 14th Amendment. But in certain instances the MI Constitution gives greater protections than is required by the 14th Amendment. #mileg tonysnyder.com/2020/02/episod…

Now see, that’s just funny! #TruthInHumor
