The other remarkable thing is the article is in a leftist rag yet it's actually written in a fair manner and does not attack the lawmakers for being conservatives or Republicans.
These judges have been mostly hiding; now they are going full force Soviet Style.
Another R.A.C.I.S.T!
How many “emergencies” last over 1 year?
The laws had time to pass the legislatures in this country.
These are edicts, not laws.
I have friends that live Oregon and they tell me it has gone downhill and gotten crazy there. They avoid Portland due the homeless problem and nutso riots that happen for no reason now. They are going n the southern part of the state which isn’t too bad according to them except for Eugene which is crazy too. Too bad...we had considered moving there.

and
Bump!
After all, he was "the inaugural Chair of the Diversity Section of the Oregon State Bar for 2002 and 2003" and the Executive Director of the National Association of Minority Contractors’ Oregon chapter.
Fine upstanding man with a great sympathy for the Deplorable Crackers of Oregon and their interest in being free of government abuse of power.
Ever?
Yes, we have a grandson, wife, and gr-grandson in Veneta.
Great news. Let it crash and burn.
The libs and the left are in power now folks. Sit back and let them have at it.
I really don’t care, esp now that we know our vote doesn’t count.
I have friends that used to live in Oregon but have left because of Oregon’s downward spiral.
It’s not going to get better. They have legalized what was once illegal and made illegal what was once legal. And the proposed laws are the same direction.
I will leave when the last grand kid graduates from high school. If not sooner.
Is there an appeal process to higher courts in Oregon?
Conservatives must be clear in understanding our principles of limited government, separation of powers, enumerated powers and legislative actions split between a “democratic body”, like the U.S. House and a body representing the regional governmental units within the state/nation.
One of the things all of that is collectively inspired to help do is to minimize or defeat the “tyranny of the majority”. The founders saw that the varied interests had to have countering powers to each other, forcing more actions to not be possible without those actions being agreed to by a broad consensus that spanned the different interests. That all began to unravel with the advent of the “progressives” as they have no problem at all with the tyranny of “the majority”.
It is from the progressives that will also get judicial activism that also seeks to undermine our founding principles by merely rubber stamping progressives tyranny of the majority, and failing that majority the tyranny of the progressives point of view.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Americans don’t have the stomach anymore.
We may have to wear masks for the rest of our lives; no restaurant dining, etc...sad, sad, sad...
“We may have to wear masks for the rest of our lives;...”
Speak for yourself.
East of the Cascades mostly isn’t too bad, except Bend. The trouble with anywhere in Oregon, though, is the nutso state government which is dominated by Portland and Eugene.
I was born and raised in Oregon, but I wouldn’t move back.
“These judges have been mostly hiding; now they are going full force Soviet Style.”
We’ve shown them they will get away with it unscathed.
We’ve shown the same to D’rat election officials.
We’ve shown the same to BLM and AF rioters.
We’ve shown the same to social media companies.
We’ve shown the same to our politicians.
The Honorable Judge Melvin Oden-Orr was appointed to the Multnomah County Circuit Court by Oregon Governor Kate Brown in December 2017.
The result was predictable. There hasn’t been a conservative professor at the U. of Oregon law school in forty years. And that probably holds true for other Oregon law schools.
Lemme guess......They had no standing.
Beat thing the people of Oregon and Washington could do is redraw the borders and have them go by longitude. Everything east of the Cascades can be one state. Let the leftists have the coast.
With a judicial system like this you have only one other option.
Live in Oregon...gotta wear masks,like it or not.
