An Oregon judge on Monday halted statewide coronavirus restrictions, ruling in favor of churches and congregants who challenged the measures as an unlawful infringement on their religious freedoms.
Circuit Judge Matthew Shirtcliff's ruling temporarily suspends all of Gov. Kate Brown's (D) emergency coronavirus measures, not just those applying to religious gatherings.
Brown vowed to immediately appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court.
In lifting the restrictions, Shirtcliff said the church groups challenging the orders were likely to win a final ruling on the merits. Their initial showing persuaded him that the health orders’ harms to religious and economic freedom outweigh public safety.
“The public interest is furthered by allowing people to fully exercise their right to worship and conduct their business,” Shirtcliff wrote. “Additionally, the utilization of social distancing protocols without additional restrictions is in the public interest to restore individual liberties and the ability to restore economic viability in our communities.”
Brown fired back on Twitter, calling it “irresponsible to dismiss the health risks and science behind our measures.”
“The science behind my executive orders hasn’t changed: today’s ruling from the Baker County Circuit Court will be appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court within hours to keep my emergency orders in effect, ensuring we can continue to safeguard the health of all Oregonians,” she said.

YES!
If there is someone as worse as Gretch The Wretch Whitless from MI, it’s Katie Brown Shirt.
Believe the science, as long as it’s OUR science.
“..we can continue to safeguard the health of all Oregonians,” she said”
Have the people of Oregon found her cure for Cancer to be revolting?
Is Oregon in a declared state of health emergency?
If so, the state supreme court will certainly support the governor’s position.
this is all political....maybe not at first, but it is now...

The Democrat Communists stay on talking point - SCIENCE!
SCIENCE IS WHATEVER WE DEEM IT TO BE!!
I wonder how far this undertow of discontent can go in washing Libtard scum out to sea politically.
Good.
You know, I was just thinking today about how President Trump giving the states full backing on making these decisions was a brilliant move on his part. The people, in these blue states, are up in arms and mad as hell at their governors. I hope they will remember this in the fall.
Article 10 A of the Oregon Constitution requires the Governor get a 3/5th approval of the entire Legislature to extend any declared emergency beyond 30 days. Gov. Brown extended the current state of emergency until July 6 without approval from the Oregon Legislature.
The judge here was not judging the health risks and science. Only the legality. As it should be.
Our church is involved in this lawsuit. The governor is in an untenable position. If she’s using health emergency she has wide powers but only for 28 days. After 28 days she must have approval from 3/5 of both sides of legislature. If she’s declaring a broad emergency it can last much longer but affords her very little powers. Certainly not the power to cutail business or detain people.
No, they won’t. If Brown wants a state of health emergency, then she needs to get legislative approval.
“The science behind my executive orders hasn’t changed”
I didn’t see much “science” in her C.V. Maybe she studied epidemiology at a night school of some matchbook academy.
The “science” is immaterial to the question before the courts, ie, does the Governor have the authority, by his/her/it’s self, to declare an emergency beyond 28 days?
WHY DOES KATE BROWN LOOK LIKE A MAN IN A DRESS ???????????
