That's the second judge within a week or who has ruled against the state and for the people. I'm somewhat shocked because our judicial system hasn't really given a shit about the people since the mid 20th century.

Interesting ruling. I am also surprised of it coming out of Oregon however Baker County is Eastern Oregon and they tend to be a lot more conservative and are pro constitution.

The legislature had enough time to come up with something. Their lack of legislation should mean the Governor has executive authority to continue in the best interest of the State.

The legislature did nothing, they had plenty of time, they had 28 days and according to the Constitution they were responsible for extending the governor’s order, they did not, so as per the Constitution the order expired. Seems like the governor thought she was above the Constitution, apparently not.

The state Supreme Court has issued a stay, so unfortunately the lock down remains until the high court makes a final ruling.
