A semicolon replaces a comma and a coordinating conjuction (and, but, or, nor, for)You need an independent clause after a semicolon or after a comma+conjunction. Since the phrase wasn't an independent clause, it should be "or" without a comma.

Ah, you're right, I just re-read it. OK, so now it's either a comma or a semicolon. Now I see why the judge stopped this legal heresy!
