FILE - In this May 2, 2020, file photo, people hold signs protesting Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's executive order that shut down much of the state's economy and imposed social distancing, in her effort to stem the spread of the coronavirus, rally outside the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Ore.
The lower court judge had issued his opinion in response to a lawsuit filed earlier this month by 10 churches around Oregon that argued the state’s social-distancing directives were unconstitutional. Courts in other states have ruled against similar orders. The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down Gov. Tony Evers’ stay-at-home order last week, ruling that his administration overstepped its authority when it extended the order for another month without consulting legislators.
In Louisiana, however, a federal judge refused a minister’s request to temporarily halt Gov. John Bel Edwards’ stay-at-home order, which expired that same day. California, Washington state and New York — where governors have repeatedly extended coronavirus restrictions — give their governors more power in public health emergencies, but Oregon law puts a specific clock on those “extraordinary powers,” he said.
Earlier this month, Brown extended the order another 60 days until July 6. All but a handful of Oregon counties, however, got the state’s approval to begin loosening those restrictions last Friday.
Kate Brown (sister of the liberal gov of CA Jerry Brown) needs to be taken to task for refusing to reopen Oregon despite flattened mortality rates in her state.
Oregon, sandwiched between Washington and California, is a success story where the virus is concerned. Some people can't stand that. Not enough dead people I guess.
ComeySUX When the Supreme Court at any level finds in favor of restricting the Bill of Rights, bad things will follow.
Fascinating seeing judges try to stike down stay at home orders....while they’re teleconferencing from the comfort of their own home. 🥴🥴🥴
Awesome
That's just great, everyone is out anyway. Take a look at the highway cams. I have not locked down and can't, I should have a problem getting to work if everyone is home. Oh well keep dreaming the lockdown is working even when other states are open and making money.
Time for some massive lawsuits and protests! Govt does not dictate Americans freedom! We worship God not Government! Vote Republican to save our Republic!
I hope the wind is not blowing from the south. The stench of rotting American corpses is overwhelming.
Wake U America! Why aren't people going to court in all 50 States? ? ? 😷
AP = Always Propaganda This is pure a ComDem Covid19 Dictator stamping her feet on little people. This Total Insanity. Government is no longer responsive to the voters nor to reason.
Shutdowns are unconstitutional
American freedumb! People simply exercising their right to be stupid. can't blame the idiots though, as they only only have a failed government to look to for answers.
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH, ppl even in communist states do not want their rights trampled on . only take a few patriot Americans to file and stand up, seems the rest are sheep who are willing to be told how when and where to live
Nice to see cool, logical heads prevailing! 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
This is what you get when you elect Democrats.
Since they're unconstitutional they don't have to be obeyed
Trump_1776_ Let's do Washington state next!!
Woo Hoo
Good deal!
OregonWisconsin
Good.
BiancaDee3 The judge is from Baker, Oregon, population 43. He's a nut case.
Off to the Federal Courts they go.
This is why Oregon is messed up!
I hope Oregonians fight back against the tyrannical DemocRats' draconian style orders, people are free to do what they want, just like DemocRats are free with breaking our laws and getting away with it.
I think you need a comma or better wording
I’m sorry, this is a triple negative. What’s the bottom line?
So y’all find a small island off the coast, go have church, and when you get sick...pray real hard down on those knees. God gave us free will...making the right choices are the challenge.
When conservatives tell me that I should listen to them and ignore the doctors, nurses & virologists...
Democrats protect the people and their health and safety. Republicans protect the rich and corporations. Oregon is fortunate to have Democratic Judges on their Supreme Court. VoteBlue
UPDATE THE ARTICLE. IT MENTIONS NOTHING ABOUT THE OREGON SUPREME COURT OVERTURNING THAT JUDGE'S RULING.
Good. Weird how activist judges are okay when they are hyper conservative Bible humpers. Thumpers? No. I meant humpers.
Common sense and the rule of law, hopefully, abounds.
Thank God we’re a blue state.
It’s actually a stay not a ruling.

A Democrat monster Gov
At least their Supreme Court has a social conscience.
Democrats celebrate oppression

200 people in one church just got the virus in California, good luck with that
Alan_R2A Open Up Washington State!!! 🇺🇸
Alan_R2A 👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Yeah.... these opposing headlines are confusing😒
Please add a comma after “judges order.”
I’m ashamed of my state’s Supreme Court. Judge Shirtcliff got it right the first time. OregonGovBrown wants free rein; the seven lapdogs in black robes had no problem giving it to her. I can’t believe we have to wait four more days for the next hearing. Friday seems so far away.
As of May 1, 23,430 people are estimated to have died out of a total population of 8,398,748 in New York City. This corresponds to a 0.28% crude mortality rate to date, or 279 deaths per 100,000 population, or 1 death every 358 people. TuesdayThoughts TuesdayMorning
It’s easy to understand the confusion Gov. Brown has on this issue. Because she never needs to leave the I-5 corridor, she just assumes all of Oregon looks like that. Otherwise, she might understand that Eastern Oregon has been practicing social distancing for over 150 years.
Good, tired of tyrant Democrat Governors trying to control our lives.
the gov filed under natural disaster emergencies to have more power 'The public health statute contains the 28-day time limit, while the other would give Brown broader powers but isnt relevant in the current situation, said Kevin Mannix, who is representing business owners case.'
Tipping point.
Go Kate!
Amazes me that “non-profit” churches are pushing the hardest to open up ASAP... something seriously wrong with the system.
Oregon’s Supreme Court is being political, instead of simply interpreting actual state law. Sad.
Hey Oregon Supreme Court, please give a call to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, they need help evolving...
Recreational Pot stores are essential in Oregon but not churches.........
Pretty sure the US Supreme Court has already ruled on a similar scenario. As long as she doesn’t discriminate or favor one religion, her order doesn’t violate 1A.
Disgusting
Ha ha, owned
Shabbosgoy That could have been phrased more confusingly, but I'm not sure how.
Pesky Constitution.
Stays an order from lower court while they make a determination. NIXING Is a strange term to use.
Great job by Gov. Brown and Oregon Supreme Court. Great piece!
Your headline needs a comma.
Please check your English
These are all churches...saying the restrictions are hurting their business. Tax the Churches
Good on them, we shouldn't be rescinding anything quite yet
Outstanding. It is mind-boggling that some county judge can establish state rule. Talk about judicial activism? Watch the boogaloo militias rise up in civil insurrection.
He’s from Baker county. Go figure.
Common sense
OregonGovBrown F V C K Y O U Stalin would be proud of you.
Don't rejoice nanny state high anxiety liberals. They just want to be the ones doing the deciding
These headlines contradict each other.
We have to ask the trillion dollar question. Why is the country of Sweden not dead from COVID-19?
KDWRenoGirl Do you know you can earn more than your salary working from home? DM me if interested
Get sick then
Weird how quick they react to this. She's illegal. 28 days. A period. Let's go to supreme Court
California needs a similar rule allowing only 28 days for a Governor to have this type of control in an emergency.
Look what we have done to our planet you think a judge is going to care about a virus? Humans are the virus
Are these Trump and MoscowMitch judges? Are real or fake? SaferAtHome
Our god-given rights are protected, even in Oregon
Good on Oregon Supreme Court to put the foolish judge's order on hold.
Is The Supreme Court Going To Drag People Out That KNOW BETTER?! What A Joke!
Send my family and rest to home I wish to works along
Oregon just went from worst state to be in to best.. open the bars!
Zero Covid deaths in Oregon yesterday; 1 today. For this, she has 4.2 million people locked up through summer? Insanity. Open the entire state today.
Oregonians can rejoice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
