Oregon Emergency Bill Would Suspend Due Process Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D-Portland) convened the Oregon legislature into emergency session on Wednesday, which is expected to last two or three days. The agenda has several bills, including HB 4212. That bill includes a clause written by Martha Walters, the chief justice of Oregon’s Supreme Court, at the request of Brown. This clause will allow Walters to suspend due process for up to sixty days if she deems it necessary during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of the legislature reining Gov. Brown in after her illegal orders under the CCP coronavirus pandemic, they have proposed to expand the emergency powers of state government.

They’ll totally give them back after the emergency ends, though....More to the point, any emergency going forward can justify the courts suspending due process in any case. Of course, the bill contains an emergency clause, which means it takes effect immediately upon passing and severely limits the power of the people to refer it to the general ballot for a vote....

-- We're used to our legislature and governor hiding horrific legislation behind harmless sounding titles, synopses, and/or buried deep in huge bills. --

Everybody is under that sort of government. The feds are expert at it. And don;t forget all the garbage pushed off to admin agencies. Most of the COVID crap is pushed by state parallels to CDC, with no accountability.

I'm beyond fed up with the liars in the government.

He can call them out but there’s this state’s rights thingie.

The people of Oregon need to take their state back from their repre who fancy themselves overlords.

I was in Bi-Mart the other day. Where there were usually 3 shelves of ammo, there was none. And, it wasn’t left empty like they expected more, it was filled with trinkets.
