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.
