Oregon, My Oregon

 Acting rational, for a change, NewsMax, Oregon Supreme Court Won't Remove Trump From Ballot

The Oregon Supreme Court won't remove former President Donald Trump from its primary ballot, saying Friday that it will wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the issue.

"Because a decision by the United States Supreme Court regarding the Fourteenth Amendment issue may resolve one or more contentions that relators make in the Oregon proceeding, the Oregon Supreme Court denied their petition for mandamus, by order, but without prejudice to their ability to file a new petition seeking resolution of any issue that may remain following a decision by the United States Supreme Court," the court said in a statement.
. . .
Trump's campaign welcomed the news from Oregon.

"The so-called 'ballot-challenge cases' are all part of a well-funded effort by left-wing, political activists hell-bent on stopping the lawful reelection of President Trump this November, even if it means disenfranchising voters," campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. "We are confident that the fair-minded Supreme Court will unanimously affirm the civil rights of President Trump, and the voting rights of all Americans."

It's not like Trump has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the state, and collecting 7 electoral college votes.
