The court didn*t make a mistake, this was intentional. If you read the opinion it*s obvious they read into the statute exactly what they needed to read into it in order to save it, and thereby Wolf, from the Republicans. Even one of the other Democrat justices called them out on it. I agree with the legal analysis that the statute, as written, was unconstitutional because it violated the PA constitution*s requirement that all legislation be presented to the governor for approval. BUT, since their attempt to get around the governor was unconstitutional so is the rest of the statute. Therefore, they should*ve struck the entire thing down which would*ve eliminated the governor*s ability to pass a state of emergency in the first place. But that would*ve given the Republicans win and they wouldn*t allow that.
