Not only a dupe but a broken dupe.
Fixed. Might have to hit it a few times to get past the server error.

Keep trying, lots of traffic at the moment. It's up and down.

Thanks @Norwestr55 and @308 , we have to make sure these miscreants play by the rules.

Here's the full text

Moments ago, the Oregon Supreme Court denied two motions by the Chief Petitioners of IP 43.

Read the full document here.

In short, the Chief Petitioners were attempting to intervene in the appeals process to support the ballot title and file a memorandum in support of the ballot title.

Additionally, and more importantly, in the denial, the Oregon Supreme Court issued a deadline adjustment.

The original order from the court stated we had three days from the date the Oregon Attorney General files the answering memorandum (her document debating our argument as to why the ballot title is legally insufficient) to file our reply.

Now the order says three days from the date the AG's memo is due (June 18, 2018).

This is significant because the AG could have filed her memorandum prior to June 18th to speed up the process. With this change the timeline cannot be expedited by the actions of the AG.

As it stands this moment, it's possible that the signature gathering process may not be able to proceed until July 2nd. This leaves only four days to gather approximately 100,000 signatures – a near impossible feat.

As you know, these legal challenges are not cheap. If you wish to support our efforts, you can send donations via PayPal to [email protected] or by regular mail to PO Box 4193, Hillsboro, OR 97123.

So, basically the OSC "Adjusted" the time line for the signature gatherers to do their deed, effectively cutting them off at the knees! Ok, that's good for now, but it still could go forward, it depends on what the A.G. has up her sleeve and what the OSC rules!

I'm not sure I'd call it a victory so much as a proper ruling at this juncture in time. It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

Didn't say it's over. Said "First Victory" because it is. The previous timeline was being manipulated in favor of the referendum.

So basically IP43 is more than likely dead for this year?

Maybe. The court could still make adjustments. That's why I said "at this moment"

 

[JRuby]

Just gives me a little more time to buy the things I need and want. At best this could lead to a temporary reprieve even if it died this year it will be back. Just have to keep fighting and prepare.

Wishful thinking never hurts and is free.

Joined what as a lifetime member?

And if you happen to know where these people are going to be collecting signatures you should go down there as if you're there to sign it and just stand there explaining why they are wrong and waste their time. Don't start any fights but we should have a right to tell them in person why they are wrong.
