Our feckless legislature here in Pennsylvania finally is taking this tack also. In a few hours the State House and Senate could have everyone immediately at Green Level of openess and end this horsesh*t. Wolf can file injunctions all day with the court but they will not side with him . He overstepped and overstepped for too long at the behest of the degenerate tyranny. You work for us Cue-Ball. The libs on the Post Gazette website are freaking their Hitler maybe be neutered soon and their fake paramedic restrictions will end. This seems to be gaining momentum nationwide as the populace is about sick of being toyed with by the 50 little dictators and their fake science medical directors.

I predict even California will be all open within 6 weeks as the USSC rules that they have overstepped their authority and the supremacy clause allows or Trump to overrule them.

Then watch the chaos as Karen and Chads all over shriek.."But you are getting people sick..close down those stores, get back in your homes...."

While that was part of the lawsuit, the Judge held that she was not required to invoke that part of the Oregon Constitution, and in her original Executive Order did not cite it, instead relied on the older, weaker "State of Emergency" and "Public Health Emergency" laws.

And so, he said you are bound by the limits of the law you cited. Under a declared Public Health Emergency the Governor can declare that and take exceptional powers for 14 days and they can extend it only once, for another 14 days, so 28 total.

The original decree was March 7. We're at day 41 of PubliC Health EmerState Times up! And it's been up for a while, so her continuing executive orders are Null and Void.

Here's an earlier article on this (from the local paper) that, if you click through to the Baker City Herald site, will allow you to see the actual 6 page decision by the Judge.
