RE: Why arent these elected bufoons thrown out of office or at a min impeached?
See Post #12 above.
The simple answer is none. The only way anything gets done in this country is through the dumbest of the Press. The Press has shown that it is totally corrupt, ignoring the things that place negative news on things they agree with and super hyping those things with which they agree. And, they agree with liberal philosophy and disagree with conservative philosophy. So, they will do nothing in this case. Should a conservative AG say he/she would not enforce an antigun law, you would hear about it, with complete negative spin, for weeks as the big story in the country.
It’s things like this in Oregon and Virgina that makes it so troublesome when some ridiculously blast the Convention of States movement, and put out the rationale that electing more republicans or using nullification will suffice.
In this case, it is Oregon’s leftists using nullification of a perfectly fine ballot measure.
Things NEED to shake up, and a COS is the way to do it.
You hit the point correct. Even in conservative circles the discussion on this issue is it is not a serious issue - politically conservative, not socially conservative circles of course.
Tip of the iceberg here in Oregon. Governor khitzaber does exactly the same thing. Oregon is a mirror image of the corrupt lawless Obama administration.
The people of the state should move to impeach her immediately. If they do not, they deserve what they get.
And worse
By this example, shouldn’t the general public just disregard any law they believe unjust, so long as they can avoid being cited for a violation?
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never amended the federal Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay rights. So the states are free to make laws which discriminate against gay issues imo, gay marriage in this example, as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
What Ms Rosenblum actually needs to do is the following if she doesn't like Oregon's discriminatory constitutional amendment concerning gays. She needs to work with both state and federal lawmakers to propose a gay rights amendment to the federal Constitution to the states for ratification, and if the Article V supermajority states choose to ratify her proposed amendment, and I don't think that she's going to get the support as evidenced by her own state, then gay rights will be constitutionally protected and she will be a hero.
In America today, “he who keeps the law, is above the law”.
RE: What law school did Oregon Attorney General get indoctrinated at?
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Rosenblum
She graduated from Evanston Township High School and attended Scripps College before earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon in 1971, where she also earned a law degree in 1975.
“Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum”
There’s that name “Ellen” again - the quintessential dyke name. (no offense to any conservative Ellen FReepers.)
Thank you for noting that. Note that I ask the question where so-called constitutional law experts were educuted in a tongue-and-cheek way. Maybe I need to clarify that in my posts.
BTW, have you, or any freeper that you may know about, taken the online Hillsdale Constitution course. I'm reluctant to sign up because it may be a waste of time. After all, I read the Constitution-related posts in FR. :^)
RE: BTW, have you, or any freeper that you may know about, taken the online Hillsdale Constitution course?
I have not but know of at least one conservative friend who has. He told me it was worth it. There’s really nothing to lose. It’s free.
I looked at the Oregonlive.com website and found the story there. It added that the federal judge ruling on the case is U.S. District Judge Michael McShane of Eugene. Eugene is not known as a hotbed of conservative values.
The Oregon bar is as sleazy and dishonest as she is.
