2. GOP is missing the irony here

They love when Trump just takes power or presumes he has to make decisions or change whatever he doesn't lile.

Not so much when Gov Wolf, a Dem, does something similar, although for good not evil ala Trump.

Ultimately, it doesn't make sense to have an emergency declaration that can never be overruled by the state legislation and only be over when the governor says it is. No Dem, liberal, progressive would like it if we had an R governor who decided to use emergency declaration powers to gut regulations on fracking, drilling, mining and other things in the name of "getting the economy going".
