WATCH: Michigan Judge Finds Attorney in Contempt for Live Streaming Trial already being Live Streamed

Two television news cameras were live streaming the ridiculous trial of a man cited for warming up his car in the driveway of his Michigan home during subfreezing temperatures when the judge turned to the defense and asked if they were live streaming.
Attorney Nicholas Somberg acknowledged that his associate sitting behind him was live streaming, but had only done so after asking the local media if it was permissible.
But Roseville District Judge Marco Santia was infuriated that Somberg did not fill out a permission slip approved by him and ruled him in contempt of court.

Make Michigan Great Again

Michigan senators have introduced the "Make It In Michigan Act." If successful, "Make It In Flint/Detroit Acts" will follow next.

The democratic Michigan senators (Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters) are actually co-sponsoring the “Make It In America Act.” But to help illustrate how economically nonsensical the “Make It In America Act” is, I’ve taken the liberty here of doing some editing to a recent news report.

Michigan Cops Refuse to Release Dash Cam Video Proving 83-Year-Old Man Assaulted Them

Michigan police say an 83-year-old man assaulted them on St. Patrick’s Day, making them fear for their safety, which is why had no choice but to slam him to the ground, breaking his nose and his arm.
But they have refused to release the dash cam video that would prove their allegations against Larry Sevenski.
And usually that means they are full of it.
However, Sevenski is now facing two years in prison for the felony charge of assaulting a police officer in addition to charges of obstruction and resisting arrest.
