Baker County Judge overturns Governor's coronavirus executive orders
The Baker City Herald ^ | 5/18/2020 | unsigned news story

Baker County Circuit Court Judge Matt Shirtcliff this morning issued a preliminary injunction declaring Gov. Kate Brown's executive orders related to the coronavirus pandemic as "null and void."

Attorneys for the governor said they would file a motion seeking review of Shirtcliff's decision by the Oregon Supreme Court.

Oregon is open for business now!

The judge granted injunctive relief to the plaintiff's which was basically all churches and businesses in Oregon, to resume activities, with appropriate social distancing in place. All of the authoritarian Governor's orders are now NULL AND VOID.

Obviously Ms. Gov of Oregon and her statist minions will be infuriated by this, and seek to have it stayed. The she-fascist has already said she's taking it directly to the State Supreme Court and bypassing the appeals courts.

The full 6 page opinion is a the link, and is a model of clear writing and fidelity to law as written.

The judge just handed Gov. Brown a huge defeat. Until she gets the Supreme's to stay his order, it's the law of the land.

Hopefully some restaurants start to reopen this afternoon.

Please ping the Oregon list! Thanks!!

Every Judge on the Oregon Supreme Court are lefty democrats. This will be overturned. But at least one Judge gave Brown a bloody nose. Coronavirus has been statistically insignificant in Oregon.

You and the Q team may be interested in this. Oregon is now the second state (by my count) in which a Judge has tossed out the whole "rule by executive order" regime that we've been living under in most places.

There will likely be more court fights soon on this in Oregon, but for the moment, Oregon businesses are free to open, as the Governor's power has been declare "NULL AND VOID" by the judge.

I don't know. Without declaring martial law I don't see how they can suspend constitutional rights. It seems every time this is tested in court it fails.

Probably, but Shirtcliff was appointed by Brown...so there is that.

Get to your doctors and request HCQ before the godless democrat Oregon supreme court reverses it.

I don’t know the mechanics of suspending Constitutional rights, but Oregon has done it for two months to the day today.

I have little doubt the godless democrat Oregon supreme court will follow the governors wishes.

"Probably of interest to the Flubro community."

Really, you have that great of need to start a fight on good news? May I suggest you take up wood-carving or pottery to fill your time? If not, there are usually places that need some touch up paint. Even if not that, the grass could probably use your attention to see if it is actually growing.

Well I hope I am not underestimating the ability of the Left to cheat, but the decision is very well written and makes it quite clear that using the laws that Governor is claiming give her the unlimited power to do what she is doing, she only had 28 days to boss everyone around. That period is long over.

The judge ruled all her executive orders are now:

Null and Void

This is my home State. I have looked at the OHA dashboard and we have almost nothing now. This is the first shot across the bow. If needed, maybe the the next shot could be Federal. Perhaps this might apply: Title 18 U.S.C. Section 242, Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law. Interesting reading. Be well.

Interesting on the 28 day rule. The godless democrat Oregon supreme court may actually have to agree with the judge. Governor Brown does have the godless democrat legislature on her side, so it may take her a little longer.

I wonder how this affects the $14,000 citation fine the godless democrat Oregon OSHA issued against the Salem salon.

Good question. They aren't just godless, they are lawless. Even when they are shown they are in the wrong, they will never just admit it and drop the fine.

Look at the actions in the "bake the cake" law.

Gov. Bisex is now treating every business in the state like the cake shop. To some extent, many deserve it (for supporting the Liberal takeover of Oregon)
