Supreme Court bought and paid for.
Under what grounds did they restore the injunction? Oh I know they have the power, but what made them so quickly assured that the ruling was incorrect - aside from them being paid antifa flunkies?
And don’t even get me started on the governors phony tears - “I’m doing this for YOU!”
And it couldn’t happen to better people. Enjoy.
but they don't...they sit home and complain that each party is the same, and what does it matter, and it doesn't affect me....
smarten up Oregone....
It is all phony feel good tears, why if we open up too soon we will run out of vents, despite having so many we are shipping them overseas. Oh, a wear your face covering that suddenly became important 2 months later so you can some day see your family again, but only when I say so.
OR has only had 3.6k cases and 138 dearths and she is still acting like half the state is demand and the other half is dying because every hospital is full. It ceased to be about health by mid-late April in most cases and is not totally about control and destruction.
They didn’t restore the injunction, they blocked it, which restores the lockdown pending the hearing on the arguments.
Then they twist the law into a pretzel and decide for Kate.
The typical standard for injunctive relief requires the moving party to show the presence of four factors:
1. Likelihood of success on the merits.
2. Irreparable harm would occur if the injunction is not granted.
3. Would any other existing or potential litigants be harmed if the stay is granted.
4. The public interest favors grant of a stay.
I suppose you could argue both ways on factors 2 and 4. Irreparable harm is currently being done to business owners and others who are adversely affected by the governor’s office. The state can argue that the elimination of the governor’s orders would cause irreparable harm to those who will possibly contract the COVID-1984 virus.
If the Oregon law is as clear as the circuit judge’s decision indicated it was, it is hard to see how the Oregon Supreme Court could conclude with a straight face that the state has a likelihood of winning on the merits.
The governor ought to do the right thing and convene the legislature to vote whether or not to impose her order on the people of Oregon.
Replace the preposition “for” with “to” and its correct.
Travis McGhee aka Matt Bracken posted an essay about this yesterday. He was not the author, but it was a provocative, prescient essay nonetheless.
