Many governors have reached far beyond their allowed powers, as court cases have recently shown.

Yeah the Michigan governor comes to mind in particular.

Thank heavens, it's about time the power exercised during the pandemic is bounded somehow.

Doesn’t look like it actually matters?

The case centers on a single Newsom executive order in June requiring election officials to establish hundreds of locations statewide where voters can cast ballots in the November election. But lawmakers subsequently approved the same requirement, and the judge’s decision will have no effect on Tuesday’s election.

I also am confused what gives the plaintiffs standing. IANAL, but what harm have they suffered?
